      Pros

      The culture is wonderful. The support is fantastic. I have a dedicated assistant. I work 5 minutes from home. The tools are great and constantly updated. The compensation package can't be beat.

      Cons

      The only con is really maintaining a positive attitude in the early years. The truth is if you consistently do what is right for your clients you will have a wonderful lifestyle after a few years. There are no shortcuts. It is important to remember that you are in a marathon, not a sprint. Just keep consistently doing the right thing. You have to be a self starter. There is no one in your office to tell you who to call, what to say, what time to show up. You are in the business of building trusted relationships with people who value your advice. Always remember it's their sacred nest egg, no matter the size, and the referrals will come.

      Pros

      Good Training. They care about the employees.

      Cons

      New Financial Advisors who do not yet have an office may be required to share an office with veteran advisors who are not successful. This can cause fear and jealousy on their part. You have to work to hard in the beginning to have to put up with the insecurities of someone who resents your energy.

      Pros

      One of the best "corporate" cultures in America. The highest rated in advisor satisfaction among major brokerage firms for 20 straight years. A partnership owned by the employees with ample opportunities to earn partnership regardless of your position with the firm. Exponential earnings potential limited only by your ability to create and maintain clientele. A "one FA per office" concept that essentially makes you pseudo-independent and eventually your own boss (as long as you're meeting/exceeding expectations and/or profitable). A dedicated business office administrator (BOA) who handles the operations of your branch. Some of the best training in the industry. Many firms attempt to hire new FAs away from EDJ after their first few years.

      Cons

      Hard Job. Convincing people you're the right person to manage and invest their money is not easy. Even if you're good, creating new clients is still a daunting task. This is a job best suited for extreme "people-persons" or type-A work-a-holics. 8 out of 10 hired don't make it. It can take a while to really make money. Those fortunate enough to receive some form of "asset-sharing" can start quicker. However, it all comes down to effort. Stressful job depending on your personality. You are responsible for other people's money, which isn't a task to be taken lightly. Down markets aren't fun. You always have to continue growing the business.
