Pros

Strong culture and the people are really top notch. I have never encountered such a high quality of people at any other job.

Cons

Although I went in with my eyes open, working in isolation during such a dificult time in the markets added to the stress of starting a new business and was just too tough for me.

It's not for everyone.

Pros

Pretty flexible work environment. Easy to come in/leave early if you wanted to. The job security is about the best you'll find out of any brokerage firm. There have literally never been any layoffs. Although, bonuses can easily go away, and the firm is currently not giving any raises whatsoever.

Cons

Promotions are very hard to come by, but there are some options of lateral movements within the firm. If you don't live in Tempe or St. louis, then your only career option with Jones would be a financial advisor or branch office assistant. Home office associates' pay is not great.
