Equitable Advisors reviews

You will earn ZERO compensation for the hours (i.e. months) spent studying for your insurance license and the SIE. In addition to time spent studying, you’ll have to spend unpaid hours and hours each week going to meetings. Unlike some better companies, you will have to pay for your employee training materials and license exams.

I worked here for almost a year and was lied to from the first interview. I was told I'd have a salary, later found out that I'd be commission only (it was better for my manager if I was commission only). Was told expenses (i.e. gas, Bart fare to see clients etc.) would be covered. This was not the case. Was also told I'd be reimbursed for my tests after I passed, but it turns out you only get reimbursed once you've been there for 6 months. The list goes on and on. This company is as close to a scam as you can get, and is worse than a pyramid scheme. Constantly forcing clients into annuities with high fees knowing that it's not the best decision for the client, but the one that pays out the best. No wonder they rebranded to get away from their reputation under AXA (shocker - they're just as bad with a new name). Employees were constantly pressure (sometimes forced) to write positive Glassdoor reviews, especially after a bad one would surface. I'd be super wary of the 5 star reviews on here, especially the ones that say "all it takes is commitment."
