Out for itself and not true to it's word. - Accountant Edward Jones Employee Review

-The home office culture has really regressed over the past 3 to 4 years. It's become about who you know and not about performance. It's about who you're neighbors with, who you date, who you can joke around with. -Work/life balance in the home office has deteriorated over the past few years. It became about how many extra hours you can get your associates to work and how little you can pay them, while taking away benefits. It became about lies to possible candidates regarding the amount of hours you were expected to work (especially for those looking to leave public accounting). Those who enjoyed part-time hours were eventually pushed to work more (while still getting paid less) or their part-time status was taken away. The culture has become more about how much you can drain out of your associates rather than working together as one company to provide better service to clients. This, despite promises of it being a great place to work. -Upward feedback is nonexistent in the home office. They have a survey, feedback, action process every two years or so, but when partners and other leaders confront their associates about what they wrote, word spreads and people aren't honest anymore. The problem is they say there is an open door policy, but when individuals speak up, they are branded as negative and eventually forced out, in one way or another. -Actions do not back up leadership statements. Development is not encouraged with action, associates are required to work more and more, associates can not talk with their area partner unless they've gone through ALL levels in-between, and more. -Senior leadership have seen their income levels increase over 20% while associates have seen their net pay decrease due to health insurance increases and low raises averaging around 1% depending on where you're at in your pay grade.
