Equity Trust Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Equity Trust Company had allowed me to learn so many new things and figure out who I am as a person when it comes to working with others and in a team. Working at Equity has allowed me to build my communication skills and become a better team leader in the work environment."

"A little too much conflict in management and an inability to bring projects to production."

"Equity provides in depth training, a great workplace environment, good pay, and even good opportunity for advancement. The biggest negative is the control you have over your work. This role is extrememly dependent on other team members who may or may not work as hard as you. The systems, while effective are plenty and could use some updates."

"Please do your research before committing blah blah blah blah I think they want me to fill space"

What don't you like about working at Equity Trust?

"Management is terrible. Things change daily in the sales department. It reminds most of us of a boiler room in a lot of ways. It's always SELL SELL SELL...CLOSE CLOSE CLOSE. Lots of Churn and Burn type of mentality and that applies to clients and sales representatives. In my time there I must have seen 15-20 reps come in and leave in the first 3 months. Compensation is horrible they claim you can make $100K but really the only ones that make that is management. If you are in the financial services industry already please stay away it will only bring you back down. There's absolutely no career path in the sales division you are pretty much stuck there with no advancement opportunities. Basically a dead end. It does take quite a bit of will power to stay there that long. Most people stay there for the pay check because they don't have what it takes to go out on their own."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Please for goodness sake revamp the sales department. Make it worthwhile for people to come into the office. For once ion your life act professional and not like scumbags. Get a real consultative sales process together and stop the boiler room antics. Last time I checked bolier rooms were gone in the 1980's. Learn how to become consultants. You are dealing with people's livelihood and their retirement money act like you give a crap about them instead of just another account. It's companies like you that give Financial Services a bad name."
