Pros

In past jobs, I often found myself limited by what others believed I could do or by circumstances around me. When I joined Edward Jones 16+ years ago, I finally found a career that allowed me freedom to build my own business with all the training, support and technology of a large firm behind me. I'm only limited by how much effort I want to put into my business. I also greatly appreciate the opportunity to earn partnership in the firm.

Cons

It takes a huge amount of perseverance to build your business and earn clients' trust. The financial services industry is constantly changing, and even well-established financial advisors have to be willing to adapt and embrace change to continue thriving.

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
