Pros

after the initial 2 years of hard work the freedom to work when you want and earn alot, plus no start up costs. there is no end of training and the times voted edward jones the 2nd best place to work for in the uk last year, that speak for it's self. you might be wondering why im not still there, mainly i was 23 and couldn't handle working on my own all the time, the avarage age is 41. so please do bear in mind that you will only be working with one other person your pa. i left on great terms and will re apply in 15/20 year from know, when im sick of working with poeple!

Cons

Pros

Freedom to do what you want. As long as you do the work, no one is watching over your shoulder. In my personal opinion there is no other firm that does a better job in servicing their clients. We have a different approach then the banks which often push products of their own to clients and forget about them. We truly are one of the firms dedicated to building relationships as a result of winning the JD Power and Asocciates highest client satisfactiion ranking for several years in a row. Good solid firm that avoided the financial mess. Plain Jane.

Cons

This is a firm for those who are solely dedicated to their career of building a business. This is not your typical 9-5 job. If you can commit to work 24-7 for the next 5-7 years this might be the job for you. Very subjective as different regions have different cultures. Make sure the region you are in makes you comfortable otherwise you might want to start considering working for another region. You honestly will have no life as a financial advisor for the first few years and your paycheck will be cut considerably if you are OK with them. Think about making 20,000-30,000 for 5-7 years.
