Pros

Edward Jones is a great company to work for especially if you have a good office partner, Each office has one investment advisor and a branch office administrator. They have an excellent training system especially if you're new to the industr. It is a service oriented position which allows you to get to know your clients and to help them with their financial services. Getting to know the clients and help them made the position meaningful. the benefit package is a good one

Cons

There is really no room for advancement, since there are only two positions; the investment advisor and the support staff position.

Pros

If you want to develop leadership, and that's the only thing you are looking for, working in Service may not be that bad for you.

Cons

Very hard to move out of Service. Company does not value advanced degrees. Your job is working in a glorified call-center

Pros

Great Training for sales, Get in the right region and the Vet FA's will help you and will be genuine about it. Home office is great support, hard work will pay off, and they will give you a salary to help you until you get your feet on the ground.

Cons

Get in the wrong region and it will be a hellish place to work, a lot of Edward Jones offices in the area makes it hard to do "Face to Face" (Door Knock), Will allow other offices to poach your accounts if they are high producers, want you to concentrate on sales on planning, Health Care deductible is way to high, they hold your hand and have portfolios made for you, they do not support your outside mutual funds so if you provide them and something goes wrong you pay for your own lawyer, the mutual you will provide create a conflict of interest for you because they are sharing in revenue with the mutual fund companies, stick with an outdated business model, low pay at beginning even with salary, and they only care how much money you make if you don't make enough then they try and push you out. You will work 65-80 hours a week. Edward Jones claims that they pay for everything, but they do not. You have to cover your own costs. It pretty much comes out of your pocket. Behind on times.
