      Pros

      Training and support to get you licenced and prospecting for clients is great All local management is on a volunteer basis so you get to learn from those that want to teach you Run and operate your own office Women do very well here due to the nature of how Edward Jones solicits business

      Cons

      Literally go door to door in neighborhoods trying to find clients. If you do not do this everyday for the first 3-5 years you will not make it. Buy and hold philosophy for clients is more buy and ignore. The production requirements force new financial advisors to sell upfront single commision products instead of building a book with managed accounts. There is more emphasis on recuriting new advisors than training current advisors

      Pros

      Great name recongition. Excellent sales training. Excellent training for Series 7 license. Excellent support from veteran FAs. Help with some salary the first year. Overall good culture.

      Cons

      6 - 8 hours a day of door knocking over a period of 2 years can be phycially challenging. Make your number or you are gone - no discussion. Not enough training on investing, financial planning etc.

      Pros

      Unlimited Earning Potential, Incentive Trips, Running your own practice

      Cons

      Lack of product training in beginning. Rely on testing new FA's on ability to cold call (prospect) without any training on investments. Leaves trainees with little confidence on the door step.
