Pros

Edward jones gives you a business model that, if the chips fall into place, can workout to be a successful plan. Best reason to work for EDJ is to get experience, licensed, and some great training to go along with it.

Cons

Downsides are that nepotism is rampant. You are out on your own and may not get much help from the senior advisors. You must sign a 3 year contract so READ it carefully, if you quit with-in the first 3 years you are required to pay training cost up to $75,000. And they won't let you keep any of your clients .

Pros

Work here if you are an outgoing, diligent, sales-oriented person who has a passion for investments and tends to be able to gain influence with others. There is unlimited potential for those who do the work and can handle consistent rejection. Also, the company pays a modest salary and provides training for brokers during their first year.

Cons

You really have to be self-motivated and able to handle the trials of this job on your own. You can ask for help and support at any time, but you do have to ask. Four months after you are fully licensed as a broker, you must meet your commissions or start looking for a new job.
