Pros

Good culture initially, training, strong partner network

Cons

I have never experienced so much nepotism and favoritism provided to new FA's who are the children of existing FA's are disproportiantely awarded lucrative asset sharing, RTPs and new office with existing Books of Business. Additionally, the "good old boy" network is alive and well at Edward Jones. While they talk a good game about improving diversity, the reality is almost all of the established FA's are white males, and they are now bringing their kids into the business, and providing lucrative asset and revenue sharing packages.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
