Pros

Amazing broker dealer structure to build a book of business. Some of the highest GDC payouts. Great support for building from scratch and the training is fantastic.

Cons

This field and line of business is really complicated if you are not willing to put the work in. If you are looking for salary and stable pay don't do this. If you are looking to build a practice and a career, I would highly encourage you to consider Equitable as your access to it.

Pros

Unlimited earning potential, awesome atmosphere/colleagues, support available for new/experienced advisors, set your own schedule, etc. That's just to name a few, been a FANTASTIC career with this company. Equitable is super flexible, no time clocking in and out like advisors at banks and other firms. They're not limited to proprietary business, so the product potential for your clients is unlimited. I have many friends that work with advisory firms that advertise, and when we compare fee structure, bonuses etc, you can't beat Equitible's platform!

Cons

For beginners, financial advising is tough for anyone to get started. Thankfully Equitable offers plenty of joint work partners to help you close business. No con's for experienced advisors.
