Pros

Edward Jones allows you to balance personal life and work. There are never issues with getting off and you start out at 2 weeks vacation and go up every 5 years. They provide pretty good benefits... dental, health, etc.

Cons

If you aren't interested in sales, it is difficult to move up. Your job discription won't change much and there can be down time during the day.

Pros

You make your own schedule from the beginning, They pay for all testing and classes, "unlimited" income

Cons

70-80 hours minimum starting if you're starting out with no assets. You have about a 5% chance of making it past 2-3 years if you're not given assets, office, or some cobination of the two. You can work 10x more than the guy given an office, but they'll be the hero because they're hitting numbers from trails while you're struggling and hoping for the next rollover.

Pros

Overall very challenging place to start but great work environment. Everybody very supportive in the early stages. Happy with my decision to join.

Cons

Hours are very long and there are many dissapointments along the way. The dorrknocking can get old quickly but we understand its part of the process to be successful.
