Pros

You are paid while studying for licensing exams and sales training. Home office provides constant, easy to contact support.

Cons

The Edward Jones Financial Advisor is a salesperson and not a financial planner. If you can't sell, face to face, on people's front step, don't apply.

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
