Equitable Advisors reviews

Especially if you work as an internal, your external matters. Had a really good friend in training, she got a great territory where she works with her external constantly, and is put in positions to grow. I ended up getting an external who doesn't come across as motivated or willing to help me grow. While others are doing sales, I'm just an errand boy and I don't even feel comfortable enough to ask my external for more help or for ideas. Company culture is completely gone after Covid. Sales desk experience is not even close to what it was. Advisors constantly call in pissed off either because service desk is in India or because someone didn't follow up when they were supposed to, and you just gotta take it. Work flat out feels robotic and unrewarding often.

Managers recruit oblivious college students with misleading information about the position. No salary (or miniscule, temporary salary w/ reduced commissions). Impossible to be a fiduciary and work here. Sure, you can do what's best for the client, but if you're not selling enough Equitable products then you'll either starve and/or get forced out by management. 'Boiler room' culture. The corporate headquarters staff/execs are unorganized and greedy.
