Pros
Great if you're a middle-aged white male who plays golf. Otherwise, not so much.
Cons
Still in the dark ages, technology-wise. For example, in 2011 they were still investigating Linux on z! Really??? People advance on their ability to kiss up to senior management, not on the quality of their work or business achievements. Also, they try to force you to have your investment accounts with Edward Jones, which is very expensive. Jones charges 2% of the dividend payment for the service of re-investing dividends, in addition to high trading fees. As a "benefit," employees receive one free trade every four months - woo hoo! Pay is below market.
