Pros

Jones is a great place to work, and the possibilities are almost endless in terms of compensation. There are few jobs available which give you the opportunity within the first year to eighteen months of employment to earn a six figure income, a new Jones FA can. Enormous freedoms in terms of time you work, etc. The actual amount of work necessary to do well financially isn't all that much.

Cons

Nearly everybody fails within the first two years of being an FA from the training program, and many quality people who with a bit more support might succeed fail simply because they aren't quite sophisticated enough off the bat to produce substantial commissions and bring in some large accounts.

Pros

Awesome training and support. The hire the best. The people at the top are very helpfull as they understand how tuff it can be.

Cons

Your on your own once you are able to sell. Door to door until the wheels fall off. A lot of people make it because they absorb all the clients from the FA's that leave. Its one big machine and those who stay long enough get automatic clients.
