      Pros

      Can get your tests done

      Cons

      Literally everything. Terrible place to work out of college. You get used and told to sell family and friends and the advisor above you hires you just to network off your back. Back office is a mix between good and bad. older staff is great, younger staff drinks in office

      Flexibility and Control

      Pros

      Major pro of this business at Equitable is the flexibility and control you have over your schedule. Very client oriented business that allows you to interact with your clients on a daily basis, and every day is a different start/finish. Unlimited earning potential, and exponential increase in pay. You can choose salary + bonus, or bonus + commission. Ability to partner with other advisors to boost your clientele, and you can get into management (Vice President) with enough experience and leadership skills.

      Cons

      Taking the tests/getting licensed can take anywhere from 3-6 months, but you get reimbursed for the tests. Need to build your own clientele and prospect on a daily basis for your first couple of years in the business. Work more hours in the beginning, but work less hours down the road.

      Truth About Equitable Advisors

      Pros

      Constant support from every level of Financial Professionals. There are many different trainings to continue and build on your knowledge. They give leads for cold calling when you are in the study process. Once licensed you have the opportunity to buy zoominfo.com where you get thousands of leads. They give training on dipping into your natural market and most importantly they do not leave you to fend for yourself. They ask you to reach out to people you know but they do not expect you to do that right away. We all know our friends and family do not want to be called not knowing what you do exactly. Cold calling is scary but Equitable helps out a lot building your client pipeline!

      Cons

      This is not a 9-5 job, you are basically your boss. You decide what hours you are going to put in to build your client list. You have many resources to do this. You have to be extremely motivated, you are an entrepreneur, this is your business!
