      Excellent Stepping Stone!

      Pros

      Well for one they have excellent training, I believe the best in the industry! If you're new and looking to get into the financial advisory world, Edward Jones is an excellent place to get your foot in the door!

      Cons

      After you've been trained, and you're out in the world trying to earn an income, the commission splitting is very poor. They try to make this up with "vacation packages," however if you plan on making this a career, you'll either have to gather A LOT of assets, or find permanent employment elsewhere. The training is excellent, but if you use Edward Jones for it, they will make you pay them back. You don't own your book of business, ever.

      The first five years are extremely stressful and challenging, but become enjoyable afterward.

      Pros

      Flexible time, you're your own boss (mostly), you gain great networking and management experience, you relate with many people, you have your own office space, the vacation rewards are outstanding, and if you can hang on long enough, you can make a lot of annual income.

      Cons

      Highly stressful and exhausting first 3-5 years, the work is very repetitive, and money becomes more of a life-focus than it should for many families and many marriages.

      Locally supportive, but not supported by Home Office.

      Pros

      Great experience if you have no experience. Great support system within local area.

      Cons

      Two person office. The company supports the Financial Advisor. Not a flexible company. They won't allow you to switch branches until you've reached a year there. Need to document your every move to support your actions. BOA position is too expendable, at least that is what Home Office makes you feel.
