How are the career development opportunities at Equitable Advisors?

Great culture and growth opportunity.

You have to be willing to put in the work to create a business.

Great career opportunities and training for new advisors. Couldn’t be happier to work here. You are well taken care of, with plenty of senior advisers to lean on.

Work / Life balance takes some time to dial in. For the most part what you put in is what you get in return, so not much to complain about!

Good learning opportunity. Good management.

Weak learning / training opportunities for new joiners.

Uncapped earnings, great work environment, advancement opportunities.

Must have a good work ethic.

There is a comprehensive training program for people new to this career path. The management team is open to providing support and answering questions even if they are not necessarily your direct manager. The office environment is supportive of wanting everyone to succeed as a team.

The compensation structure more variable which could be difficult if you are relying on a consistent paycheck but is not really a con if you know how to plan ahead and manage your expenses.

Good ongoing development resources, opportunities for volunteer work, work life balance

No leads provided to you, so just know what you are getting into, and be prepared to cold call or attend networking events every day. Commission-based role, so be prepared to generate your own income.

The support and the platform to be successful is amazing. Very hands on training as well a track laid out to grow quickly in the career

Financial advising in general is hard, especially when growing a book of business

• Exposure to financial services industry • Hands-on learning with client-facing work • Opportunities to build networking skills • Flexible schedule depending on manager • Licensing support for Series exams

Internship is commission/sales-focused, not analytical • Limited technical finance training or modeling exposure • Pay structure not ideal for interns/students • Culture prioritizes cold-calling and prospecting • Career development depends heavily on personal book of business

Teaming, calibration or independent you are provided with career focused knowledge and financial tools by local and national thought leaders. They focus on development of the financial professional.

If you are looking for a job, look elsewhere. If you are invested in a career as a financial professional, schedule an informative interview.

Training, resources, culture, career growth and upside.

Hard work in early year of career, delayed gratification at times, being driven and self starter helps.
