Edward Jones reviews

Company's structure is a little odd. Each financial adviser has their own location and only one office administrator which puts you with that person all day, If you decide to work in a local branch. You have to really get along with your branch partner. Most positions you apply for require some sort of college degree. Although the pay is competitive as it is on the lower side. This may be due to The company's structure of every financial advisor having their own office. I can see how expensive that would be to maintain.

Terrible software systems, old school-good-ole-boy network, if you don't get a GoodKnight right away you won't survive the cut, and GoodKnight's are hand-picked by a few regional individuals who seem to hold favors over the heads of those they helped make the cut earlier in their careers. They hire people who have successful backgrounds then treat them like children. When anyone speaks out, they surround them and treat them so badly that they resign. Basically, they run people off if they don't drink the kool-aid, yet they say they want people who think outside the box. They will make you knock on doors and expect miracles. You will be graded on how much commission you earn and how many new assets you bring in, and if you're new to the business, don't expect anyone to give you any respect, clients, or co-workers. Your peers and your managers/trainers will start asking you about your clients, even though they know you're not supposed to give them any information about your clients, and when you eventually don't make the cut, and believe me they know exactly how to make you fail, they will take your clients and call them their own. It's a filthy little business, with lots of hidden agenda's, and everyone telling you "we're here to make sure you're successful, we want nothing more than to help you be the best you can be," then laughing as they keep you out of the actual loop, until they have you cornered. Lies and deceit are around every corner. They wave promises of a GoodKnight program, but, believe me, you'll have to 'kiss the ring' to win the lottery. The program prices are higher than most competitors. I'd look for another company, one that can handle the new landscape post-Covid19.
