Pros

I got in this job right out of college at UNCW, and 6 months later I am happy to report that this job is extremely rewarding if you are willing to commit to the grind. You will be making cold calls; it is a rite of passage in a sense, but you can prospect however you'd like if you hate it. The freedom, flexibility, and personal growth you will experience working here is amazing and the sky is the limit when it comes to how much you can earn. This job is not for the faint of heart, it is a sales job. You will struggle, but at the end of the day you're building a business, and you can have an insane amount of success with some elbow grease and a hint of luck on your side. Join our team in Charlotte we have a great time!

Cons

Not necessarily a con, but like I mentioned in the pros you will struggle and there is a lot of BS that people you prospect will throw your way, but it is part of the game. You may also be taking a pay-cut in the first few years relative to other jobs in the market, but at the same time you can get paid far more than you ever would at another job if you're doing well.

Pros

Can work autonomously. The sky is the limit for commissions

Cons

Company is not concerned with advisor retention or happiness. Co is only concerned with making more money and charges advisors with many "fees" related to running a business. Unfair commission policies.

Thank you for taking the time to share feedback. We appreciate you found value in working autonomously as there’s a lot to be gained from aligning yourself with an organization that enables you to be in business for yourself, but not by yourself. We believe our biggest asset is our people which drives us to provide an unequaled value proposition to find and retain top talent. Our retention rate for first-year advisors in 2023 was 93%. The retention rate among our established advisors is approximately 93%. Equitable Advisors’ ESF retention has been exceptional in the 2000s, averaging 91% per year.
