Pros

Not much I can say to recommend this company to a potential employee or customer.

Cons

Edward Jones constantly talks about putting the client's interest before their own but they don't actually do it. When potential clients shied away because of the high fees, I was told not to talk about fees or costs until I got the client to transfer his or her money (probably illegal, certainly unethical). The truth is that EJ can't put client interests first because if they did they would tell them to use Fidelity or Vanguard.

Pros

Good planning model. Do what is right for the client. Good sales training.

Cons

Need to bring a book of $20 million minimum to start or need to inherit significant assets early on. Business model is completely ineffective in the Northeast. Business is not acceptable on the doorstep.

Pros

Flexible, laid back, and understanding of personal issues. Supportive of fellow staff and training.

Cons

No challenges, not enough work, always bored, no room for advancement, my financial advisor does not bring in a business. I have absolutely no social interaction all day everyday.
