Pros

Not publicly held, so they tend to go against the flow to take advantage of business opportunities at the most advantageous times. Great limited partnership opportunities. Great training.

Cons

Niche is "mom and pop" investors, which they do better than anyone. However, that fact limits their products and solutions somewhat.

Pros

Edward Jones has created a terrific culture-- everyone is very willing to help each other suceed, good focus on family and work/life balance, simple business model

Cons

Unless you start in an existing office or by taking over existing assets, it can be very challenging to make any real money in the first few years. Be prepared to have a fluctuating and at time anemic income. The income figures suggested as averages for new advisors are grossly inflated.
