Pros

Great Education and Training Program

Cons

Antiquated Model for Business but too big to fail. The bottom line is this: Edward Jones has profit sharing. As long as they have profit sharing, any employee above the bottom will say it's the greatest place ever to work. Why? Because the more people they get to work, the less THEY have to work for THEIR share of the profit...GET IT? They also say there are no territories. This encourages everyone to work and get out there. WRONG! The first day I got my can sell, I went out and got to work. The next morning at 5:00am I got a call from a local FA. "Welcome to Edward Jones, Stay the hell out of my territory!"

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
