Pros

Internal corporate ethics match the public image - very client-oriented, very consistent focus on placing client needs first. Excellent training and good corporate brand. Company provided exemplary support during a family crisis.

Cons

Sales approach is behind the times, still too product-focused rather than solutions-focused. One finds oneself competing with many other new hires for resources and attention. Doorknocking to build leads works, but is exhausting.

Pros

Edward Jones offers some of the best training and ongoing support I have ever seen. They also continually talk about customer service and doing what is best for the client.

Cons

Having 1 BOA in the office makes it very difficult at time to take time off. However they do encourage on-call boa's it is still a system that needs work.
