Pros

-easy to get into financial planning -"training wheels" approach to building a book of business. -chance for large commissions

Cons

-that chance never comes - commission payouts are much larger at other companies for the exact same product -you are at the mercy of Equitable in regards to who/where you can prospect for new clients

Dated firm

Pros

Very young environment, many in the office it’s their first career because of financial incentives for management based on hiring as many as possible. Decent opportunity for upward mobility into management for top sellers. Very entrepreneurial, can build your own practice. Unfortunately, this can sometimes be a bad thing for people in their first career as you don’t know the business and don’t have any connections.

Cons

Emphasis on selling life insurance and annuities. No cost of living adjustment across branches for pay. Low name recognition and we are going through a rebrand since we were sold by AXA so even less. Extremely dated technology that never works. Growing emphasis on selling proprietary inferior products that have high fees.
