I'm a bit on the other side of things as the financial advisor to plans, but I work with many that have your job description. It's apparent that ADP, Aspire, and Definiti overwork their employees. I've always been impressed with the retirement plan consultants I've worked with from Empower, Bluestar, and Ubiquity.
I'd say Ascensus is neutral. Not sure how much they all make but I'm at 72.5.

500+ people with nothing to say huh

I don't understand why folks who ask about salary questions don't automatically include their location. There's a world of a difference between what an adviser should make in NYC vs. Pocatello, ID.

I work with T. Rowe and I love the company, just hit the one year mark a couple weeks ago. Working with 401Ks and pension plans just receiving phone calls to process transactions and investment changes. The people who open/handle IRA accounts make more money than me. I'm currently at $60K/year.

Hi, I just joined this bowl and late to the game, but I would strongly recommend Fidelity. I have held several roles in their retirement department and the training, experience, and opportunity is top notch.

I recently got a job offer through a company that offered me the high end of what I was asking (75k) but since it is the high end of what I asked for, do I have room to negotiate? Do I have a leg to stand on if I even try negotiating at the point? I have til Friday to fully accept. I’ve never negotiated my salary but want to be sure I’m being paid fairly for this site merchandiser role! TIA
