Thank
you for exploring careers at Segal Advisors, Inc. In my (admittedly biased)
opinion, Segal Advisors is a wonderful place to work.
As you consider Segal Advisors as a place to establish or
further your career, it’s important to note that no one company is right
for everyone. This page contains information that you can use to determine
whether your career aspirations and talents and Segal Advisor's culture
and strengths might be a good "fit."
Who are we?
Segal Advisor's profile is special. It includes the following characteristics:
- Client Focused At Segal Advisors, client focus is of paramount importance.
Our clients’ business objectives and priorities always form the basis for the consulting solutions we
recommend. We are committed to our clients’ success and work towards helping them achieve their business
objectives through the creative and cost-effective performance of their employee benefit-related movement
strategies and progress.
- Strategic Approach to Consulting Segal Advisor's approach to consulting is
a personal one, both in terms of our working relationships with clients and in offering custom rather than
"cookie-cutter" solutions. As a professional service organization, we place a high value on creativity,
quality and achieving client satisfaction. We bring a team-oriented, multi-disciplinary perspective to
consulting assignments. Our consultants have broad experience as well as specialized expertise. This
enables us to address a wide range of diverse issues on a number of different levels, a characteristic
that we believe our clients value most about Segal Advisor's approach to investment consulting.
- Collaborative Work Environment The atmosphere at Segal Advisors is collegial.
Our employees are on a first-name basis with one another, and we all work with "open doors." We accomplish
our work through the use of teams comprised of members possessing diverse skills and expertise.
This gives our employees the valuable opportunity to work with and learn from colleagues in order
to broaden knowledge, gain skills and support overall professional development.
- Appreciation of and Investment in Employees Segal Advisors listens to, recognizes
and rewards great ideas from employees at all levels of the company. Moreover, we are committed to supporting
our employees’ efforts to grow to their full potential. Employees of Segal Advisors are expected to take
ownership of mapping their careers and professional development. The company shares this responsibility by
encouraging both formal and informal performance feedback, mentoring and providing both internal and external
education and training opportunities to help achieve professional goals.
- Independence We are an independent company, owned by our employees. We intend
to maintain our independence, which gives us the ability to implement critical business decisions quickly
and enables us to give our clients truly unbiased consulting advice.
- The Right Size We have offices throughout the United States and one in Canada,
yet we are a relatively small consulting company with 40 employees.
Our size provides employees with unique opportunities to develop broad knowledge and experience and to assume
increasing responsibility as soon as they are ready.
- Deep and Broad Experience We have more than 30 years of experience and many
long-standing relationships with clients. Our clients have come to rely on our innovation, experience and
viewpoint as investment advisors. Segal Advisors has fully developed
consulting practices for three types of clients: corporate, public sector and multiemployer. We are investment consultants
to more multiemployer plans -- plans that are jointly administered by union and employer trustees -- than any
other competitor.
What do our staff members
like most about their work?

Do you have what we want?
We have identified the characteristics that are the building
blocks of a successful career at Segal Advisors. Specifically, Segal Advisors looks
for people who are:
- Committed to high-quality work

Is it a match?
In an employment market increasingly populated by "job-hoppers,"
I am always encouraged by the fact that many of my colleagues -- in all parts of the company
and all aspects of our business -- have decided to build their careers at Segal Advisors.
Equally impressive is the number of "boomerangs" at Segal Advisors. These employees who left
the company and later decided to return are probably the best evidence that Segal Advisors is
a special place to work.
If you think we can succeed together, I hope you will consider applying for a job at Segal Advisors.
