Pros

FAs are helpful and encouraging in every branch. Working in different branches teaches different approaches toward the same goal. As an on-call, you can select for which branches you wish to work and which days, too. It's an excellent opportunity for those who don't rely on a predictable, regular income. It's terrific when you get work! Home office offers superb clarification and assistance.

Cons

Lower salary than regular employees (understandable). Sometimes stressfu, especially when clients are in the office and you're learning a new skill, but you have to learn sometime!!

Pros

Great company to work for. Training for Series 7 & Series 66 is not only top notch, Jones pays for the training as well as paying you full-time. Home office training is excellent too. Fantastic corporate culture of peer assistance as well as outstanding home office support for FA's. Company's ethical standards very high. Great opportunity for those that are not afraid of hard work but seeking great opportunity.

Cons

New Department of Labor guidelines make it more difficult to start and perpetuate a book of business for new financial advisors. Jones is looking to rearrange commission stuctures to offer assistance. Be sure to ask about it during interview process.

Pros

- Running your own office - Will provide training pay for obtaining your securities licenses. Training pay is while you are studying.

Cons

- Bad culture for those who are creative. If you don't follow the Edward Jones "recipe for success" you're looked down on. I was an established advisor before joining this company and I was told if I didn't sell products door to door I wouldn't make it. Currently outperforming my sales expectations by over 200% and am leaving soon. - Compensation plan keeps getting changed in a way that negatively affects advisors
