Pros

Great Education and Training Program

Cons

Antiquated Model for Business but too big to fail. The bottom line is this: Edward Jones has profit sharing. As long as they have profit sharing, any employee above the bottom will say it's the greatest place ever to work. Why? Because the more people they get to work, the less THEY have to work for THEIR share of the profit...GET IT? They also say there are no territories. This encourages everyone to work and get out there. WRONG! The first day I got my can sell, I went out and got to work. The next morning at 5:00am I got a call from a local FA. "Welcome to Edward Jones, Stay the hell out of my territory!"

Pros

Unlimited earning potential. Great resources for questions. Trying very hard to keep up with technology. Great series 7 and 66 training to get you started.

Cons

Convoluted pay structure for beginners. At 7 months your pay can drop 60% for under performing. Performance measures are unknown to new hires making it difficult to know where you need to be. Doing what's best for the client even if it means the FA suffers. The door-to-door marketing method just plain stinks.

Branch Office Administrator

Pros

Best part of my job is building the long lasting relationships with the clients. I've learned so much with almost a decade with the firm. The branch office administrator is the heart and soul of the branch, the first person they talk to on the phone and when they come in the branch.

Cons

The financial advisor is the money maker for the firm, however branch office administrators need more perks and increase in pay.
