Pros

If you're competitively-driven, intrinsically motivated, and looking to challenge yourself within your career, this career path may be very rewarding to you. Fiscally speaking, your income potential is uncapped. However, that is not the core thing Equitable wants you to focus on; they are one of the best at personal and professional development. You will develop an invaluable skillset of communicating with others, establishing a results-driven work ethic, and a vast understanding of business and how to handle yourself as a professional. You will not find a career where you will grow professionally and personally as quickly as you would within Equitable's systems.

Cons

Not for the faint of heart. Must have thick skin to excel. Variability of income early on. Requires a little blind faith and "trusting the process" in the early stages of your career.

Pros

Good commissions and bonuses Benefits and stock sharing program Complete freedom over work schedule Any level income is possible

Cons

Be prepared to cold call, a lot and be prepared to sell to your family and friends. This process is uncool but it will help get you through the first 2 years. Take roughly 5 years to truly feel comfortable that you have a profession. Long hours in the initial years. Expensive to work.

Pros

Thoroughly enjoy working at this firm. I love the people I am able to meet and collaborate with across the branches. Great benefits and perks outside of work through the firm. A lot of flexibility and opportunity to create your own path and was able to quickly adapt to working from home due to COVID-19 outbreak. It's a challenging business and it's very fast paced, which is not for everyone, but if that's your "cup of tea", highly recommend taking a look.

Cons

Compensation is fair compared to your market; but would always recommend paying more if you want to retain top talent. Promotions are few and far between for some departments but you are able to move within the firm fairly easily for new opportunities.
