      More difficult than I thought but staying optimistic

      Pros

      The structured training of the series 7 and 66 is really solid. I learned a ton in the KYC class in St. Louis. My visiting vet was really good and down to earth about getting started at Edward Jones. A ton of resources in the field and on the computer. If you survive the first few years the rewards should be there.

      Cons

      Door knocking is very difficult to do eight hours a day. It is a mental grind. 25 contact a day I am finding is nearly impossible to accomplish. The structure falls off pretty quickly after the KYC class so be prepared to manage your time wisely. The pressure is there right from the start so you need to be ready to deal with it. Be prepared to work Saturdays door knocking.

      Not the place to start

      Financial advisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -It's great to have name brand recognition and the free marketing that comes with working for a known commodity like Edward Jones. -Great training program -Also, if you are looking to avoid micro management, this is the place for you.

      Cons

      It can be tough to see enough decision makers by going door to door during the daytime. This is a pretty big obstacle if this is your first time building a book. Also, the majority of new advisors do not have an office, which can create a perceived credibility issue in the eyes of prospects.
