Felt mislead and strung along during the onboarding process. Very poor choice for recent college grads. - Anonymous employee Equitable Advisors Employee Review

Pros

Really none to speak of.

Cons

Dishonest, always additing caveats. Invested over $1,000 of my own money to get licenses only to find out that the reimbursement date was contingent upon further sales, not passing the tests.

Support staff are more hands off, not a lot of in house support staff members.

Pros

Accessible stepping stone into the industry. Flexibility

Cons

Little transparency for employees, high pressure annuities and insurance sales with little real education or support on product or sales practice knowledge. Expect long hours while you learn to do recordkeeping and support work on your own while trying to meet goals that make sense for someone with a few years of prior experience, staff to help with paperwork and recordkeeping, and a decent lead funnel. You may not get any of these depending on branch and territory but you will still have a performance goal to keep your base pay and benefits that feels absurd to the new entrants they primarily target for recruitment.
