Pros

Starting out at Equitable out of college, I have been blessed to have such great coworkers around me to help settle in and learn every day. It is certainly a difficult career path, and not for everyone, but the experience and support around me has made my life easier.

Cons

Like I said, it is a difficult career path. You must learn to be comfortable with failure, not let it affect you, and learn from it. I would almost compare it to hitting in baseball. You won't get a hit every time. In fact, you will fail most times. But you have to get back in the box every time with confidence.

Pros

There are a few experienced advisors.

Cons

Glitches in their tools and computer system for literal days at a time. Mandatory meetings in 30-60min increments spaced 45-90min apart totalling 7-15hrs per week largely to micromanage or cover redundant topics. Incredibly annoying to have to plan all your real prospecting time and continued planning with clients around their patchwork schedule. Reg BI does not seem to be much of a concern when working with senior managers/advisors, they just want to push the proprietary products. "We can show you that when you need it". You will often go into situations blind and without a good understanding or access to the tools or information that you need. Felt like information guarding to keep new advisors semi dependent on managers.
