Pros

Excellent benefits: 24 days PTO for most FTE, 10 sick days, pension, 401k matching, stock purchase discounts, typical health insurance, disability, etc.

Cons

As is the case with many companies, too many managers of people are not monitored for performance. Managers of people must be held accountable for the success of their teams. Training and monitoring their performance, and reviews from their subordinates should be reflected in their pay and/or bonuses.

Pros

- Stable, large employer in the Syracuse area. Unexpected reductions in force aside, the only departure I’m aware of involved a Senior Information Officer — and even then, it took law enforcement showing up to make it official. So if you’re wondering where the line is, it appears to be somewhere north of ‘everything’ and just south of ‘handcuffs.

Cons

- Absolutely zero room for career growth. -Directors are unable to articulate to their direct subordinates what one can do to earn a better than “average” rating, beyond just saying “You need to do something that saves the company time or money.” Yeah, great idea Bob, I’ll get right on that after I finish filing out *another* DLP report involving our advisors who should know better, yet no one seems to actually discipline. -No training for managers. The board, its directors, and those who set the budget, seem to be stuck in the old mindset of “IT is a cost center.” This means that company payed, high-value worthwhile training is few and far between if you work in the SOC or the greater security team. -Forced in office time for arbitrary reasons, when even the leaders who made and enforce the rules don’t adhere to it. Tell me again bob why I should sit in the SOC, when literally the rest of my team are are fully remote?

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.
