Pros

Equitable has all of the necessary tools to make a successful financial advisor. The training in your first 4 years as an advisor will allow you to build a career and book of business that allows for a great work-life balance in the future. If you follow the process and don't take any shortcuts you will notice it in your pocket and the impact you're making on others.

Cons

If you want a job where you clock in and out, this is not the career for you. It takes a lot of hours to build a successful book of business so it has to be for the right person.

Equitable Advisors Response

Thank you for the comment! We do have all the tools necessary to help Financial Professionals harness all of their potential for success and you are right, this is a career that requires dedication and commitment.
