Pros

Help with studying for the licenses

Cons

Today I found out that I am on the hook for $75k in training fees. It was never mentioned once in the interview process! We are required to do daily training calls where the people who are licensed report their numbers to senior advisors and the rest is filled with a senior adviser talking about how great they are not worth $75k! I thought this was a finance job but it is really a cut throat sales job. What was presented is night and day from what I have seen so far. Edward Jones a culture of if you say it enough times it becomes true.

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
