Pros

They will sponsor you to get your SIE licenses; S7 & S66. *note I had to push to get my S66 to become an advisor, but equitable tries to push just the 63.

Cons

Working at Equitable Advisors felt like a scene straight out of Boiler Room. Managers lure recruits with exaggerated promises—mine claimed, “You’ll make enough to buy a McLaren.” In reality, you’re placed in an empty office with a handful of other new hires, making 200 cold calls a day. The real goal is to push annuities and insurance products, often under the guise of being a financial advisor. The company operates on a commission-only model while expecting you to work 60-hour weeks. To top it off, I received a class action settlement about a year after leaving.

Pros

Good for securing financial licensing.

Cons

The pay is terrible, and if the policyholder stops making premium payments, they will come after you years later with a debt collector to recover unearned prepaid commissions.

Pros

There are no pros at all

Cons

No support and weak team trainings. No salary commission only. Churn and burn through employees. Terrible reputation. The only ones that respect them are themselves.
