Pros

Great incentive packages, strong work ethics, and diversity. Great managers that push their employees to work hard. Just a great oppurtunity. There is great direction and tough mentality that gets things done. Only the best survive and weak get fired.

Cons

There is simply too much competition. THere are too many people that do not know what they are doing. They need more education. The stock market is down and yet we do not know what needs to be done.

Pros

You are the boss. You are basically given the opportunity to build your own business. The only thing that you are expected to contribute is your sweat and hard work. Not to mention a few tears.

Cons

The first two to five years are tough. You will need to contribute more than you have to give. But once you have established yourself in your community you will find yourself highly rewarded for all your hard work. This is not a job for people who are seeking instant gratification and a high salary for doing nothing.

Pros

Edward Jones promotes a culture of sharing and helping others. If you need help there is always someone willing to help you out. The second reason is that our clients are great to work with. Third is I have the time I need to take care of personal business. Fourth, when thinking of compensation, at Jones the compensation package salary, healthcare, HSA, 401k, profit sharing are all great. Jones is a partnership so after you have worked for the company for awhile you have the opportunity to be a partner and the partnership is a tremendous investment.

Cons

It is a fast paced environment. It can be stressful. Long hours. High expectations. This business is very competive.
