Fun place to work, but many downfalls

Door Indeed uitgelichte review

De nuttigste review volgens Indeed
Management had several stores to work in between, and was really only around when they thought there was something wasn't going right. Coworkers were almost always fun to work with, but poor benefits, poor work/life balance, no part-time positions available.

Work hard you get far

you can make it for if you put in the effort problem is that you will not be doing much planning but trying to sell products in order to make your production goal.

Haven’t started yet

Equitable seems very uplifting at first, but almost as if it’s too friendly. I feel like it’s more pyramid schemed, where the higher you climb in the ladder the more you make and while your at the bottom no one cares. They give you a really low base salary and the rest of the money you make depends on you. Heavy certifications required that that isn’t worth what your getting compensated. Makes no sense for someone to take four certifications.

Focused on education & relationships.

A company with an awesome culture and even better people. Focused on education and building relationships. Great balance of career and life with the ability to grow your business at your own pace.

Pluspunten

Industry professional seminars, including free lunches to keep you sharp. Social gatherings to keep a laid back culture.

Minpunten

Commission

lots of potential, first few years are hard

Advising is one of the hardest fields to break into, largely because you have no book of business, but over time it gets easier and significantly more financial rewarding in addition to less stressful. highly reccomend

Pluspunten

sometimes free lunches, lots of helpful training

Minpunten

higher stress levels, there are minimum requirements

Questionable hiring practices. Sales driven to a fault.

Equitable has the capacity to be a great company to those who fully ascribe to the company’s beliefs. The idea of helping people secure their financial futures is noble. However, the greatest issues I’ve seen with the company revolve around management, sales practices, hiring and the new hire startup process. New hires are pressured heavily to prospect and sell. I doubt if they are able to really do what’s in the best interest of the client because they are trying to make money and stay in the company. Managers are always hiring to keep people in their pipeline and without advisors selling the company is not making as much money. Additionally, management is confusing at best. Your experience with one manager or Vice President can be lightyears apart from another. If you get a non-financial advising role then you may like it better. The benefits are good if you’re an actual Equitable employee. The culture is strange at times and I find that it’s best not to assume anyone is your friend just besides you’re on a team together or they’re your manager.

Pluspunten

Good Benefits if you’re an Equitable employee.

Minpunten

Tough business for the new advisors. Questionable sales and hiring practices.

Diverse/Inclusive Team environment

Worked as an intern and received nothing hut support throughout my time. The management as well as associates went above and beyond to ensure that interns were successful. They also allowed space for employees to own their work

Tough environment but good place to work

Tough environment to really make a good living as a new advisor. Advisors with existing book thrive. Great direction from management but if you don't make calls you will not make what you want.

Excellent workplace

I worked for Equitable as the Director of Marketing for a year and a half. I very much enjoyed the leadership team. I also enjoyed my duties as the Director. I managed recruiting, digital adoption, seminar's, event scheduling, working with Advisor's on their marketing. I created a digital newsletter, communicated branch marketing info out, and managed 4 other individuals who were the Digital Specialists. It was my first job in a leadership position.

Minpunten

Work life balance

good

I believe the company tries hard to make employees happy each and every day. Monday to Friday is a nice bonus so always weekends with family, dogs, cats, and horses!

The company did not live up to my expectation.

The professionalism does not exist. The favorites ONLY get hired, some less than 6 months get hired, while people there for years still temp. The overall training concept needs to be revamped, receive 2-3 weeks for bare basics, but 1 hour for trading. Their systems crash ridiculously frequent. Their departments don't share information, it's like one speaks Spanish the other speaks French with neither one wanting to take responsibility for mistakes they both make. Maybe if I was hired permanent from beginning, I wouldn't be so eager to leave. BUT now with all the opportunities available with the EXTREME INCREASE in pay, permanent position is not worth it. Especially when you can increase your pay 35-45%. Only positive is experience.

Tough but rewarding

Have massive potential for making money but very hard to build a book of business. Especially being 25. Need to have a networking plan and helps to have wealthy friends and family.

Pluspunten

Flexibility

Minpunten

Hard to build a book

The best way to get ahead at this company is to not be very good at your job.

Equitable does offer great insurance benefits, PTO, paid holidays and job autonomy. However, they also provide mediocre training and poor job security.

Pluspunten

Great benefits, Pto, paid holidays, work/life balance

Minpunten

Mediocre training, underwhelming compensation and no job security if you are really good at your position, but if you are sub par you will go far.

Fun place without pay!

The good is i was sponsored for the important series 7, 63 etc. the bad is that despite hard work and dedication, if you fail to make your quota you're out! I liked my team very much but if given a little more slack i would’ve closed more than required.

Pluspunten

Free lunch 1x week

Minpunten

Pay structure is very difficult to make money so you basically work for free!

Prodcutive, young team, great managers

On boarding process is smooth, managers are there to help and will push you. Unlike many places manager won't take large amount of your comission. If you work hard can be a great place for you.

Toxic Company

This firm does not invest in people. The organization is cannibalism at the core. Producers give up 50% of compensation to subsidize the management and can try to earn some back but are saddled with $900 a month in expenses and worst benefits in the industry.Managers are only paid $2,000 a month salary, $1,050 is a draw to bring them to minimum requirements of pay.There is no tuition reimbursement, maternity or paternity leave. Health benefits are major medical and 3x the cost of the health exchange. Only have a 401k with 4% match.If you’re looking at this industry, go to Prudential, Fidelity or Ameriprise. Great base salaries, paid leave, incredible benefits. They truly care for their people

Pluspunten

Work life balance

Minpunten

low pay, toxic work culture, people last mentality

Nice Place to Work

Good place to start a career. Easy to get stuck in your position if you're actually good at it. Good benefits and perks but don't stay too long if you want to grow.

Provides better than average training for the FA role.

Understand that this is an entry role for a financial advisor so compare that to its peers. I’m that vein, it remains very difficult to build a sustainable book, the first 3-5 years are difficult from an income standpoint. If you are a career changer or first job after college it is easy to get started and the road map and expectations they set are clear and accurate.

Pluspunten

Flexible schedule, good training, colleagues are generally decent people.

Minpunten

Starting pay, after 3 years you pay for EVERYTHING- office space, software, etc

Runnn!!!

No room for growth… no raises… pay don’t match the work they’ll require from you . If you like metrics and someone timing the amount of time it took to use the restroom… this will be the job for you. If you enjoy taking calls back to back without being able to breathe this is the job for you. If you enjoy having to learn multiple skills but never earn compensation for doing so this is the job for you!

Pluspunten

None

Minpunten

Not enough room to write them all

No room for growth. Good for college students.

There is little room for growth and you are doing the same thing day in and day out. Management plays favoritism. Ever since the company went remote the training has been horrible.
