Pros

Flexible hours, remote work, uncapped commissions, book of business to call on, inbound que that gives opportunity to speak directly with current clients or prospects. Advice and service is completely up to the advisor. Licensing with all 50 states is covered by company. No limit to what service or advice you can provide to your clients. Equitable has agreements with other insurance providers to help fill any gaps that may exist. Great experience for those wanting to enter the financial advising space and learn more about other opportunities in the financial services space.

Cons

Base salary is low. Bigger commissions for selling Equitable products and other insurance products. You can get bogged down by performing service work for current Equitable clients. Training is limited more geared toward sales and product information.
