      Pros

      Stimulating environment, paid training, benefits and bonuses.

      Cons

      Limited advancement opportunities; branch office relationship will determine everything - bonuses, job satisfaction, wages, future earnings. Headquarters is not stupid to the flaws in their business model, but they will swallow the evidence before acknowledging there is a problem with the two-person office.

      VERY LOW BOA COMPENSATION-POOR PAY

      Boa branch office administrator

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working for Jones allows a sort of independence but the key to happines in this "job" is to be teamed with a good financial advisor. This job will be a living nightmare if the financial advisor's personality and work ethic does not mesh well with yours. The home office support is awesome and the technology makes the job very easy.

      Cons

      Very very low pay for Office Administrators. Financial advisors receive commissions on new accounts, life insurance, annuities, long term care, and so on, they also receive these lavish diversification trips. BOA's receive no commissions and the bonuses are based on the Financial advisors discretion, and of course we receive no diversification trips. The only prizes we receive is if we complete a trimester goal-which may put 25-100 back in my paycheck. I have an undergraduate degree in Business and I have received no increase in pay and am not allowed to put my academic accreditation behind my name on my business cards. The company is not very family friendly oriented and Human Resources doesnt really seem to take input from the BOA's. My pay is very low compared to area businesses.

      Pros

      Paid training and good support starting out. If you are lucky enough to get an office with existing client base, this is a great career.

      Cons

      The prospecting methods are outdated. Knocking on doors in an era where people rarely even answer phones is a terrible way to prospect.
