Pros

The company keeps every promise it makes. It is up to you to do the work, but they supply everything but the elbow grease. There is absolutly no limit on how much you can make and they listen to ideas AND follow up on them.

Cons

For a financial advisor, there is no way to just take a breather, especially if you are down and just plan need one--you stop working, you stop earning.

Pros

Edward Jones IS offers excitement for those who want a chance to reorg into new groups frequently. You get a chance to work with new managers and sometimes new technology. The limited partnership opportunity is a great investment, but you typically wait 2 years to qualify.

Cons

Some of the reorgs are frivolous and the people who make director and general partner in IS leave rational minds bewildered. Starting out with 2 weeks vacation is not competitive. Pay raises follow a matrix that tends not to give people more than 3-5% unless you have a promotion. Higher raises require numerous approvals.

Pros

The way the company reaches out to employees in time of need is outstanding. The culture and attitude of nearly everyone that works there are amazing. "Service" and "The customers best interest always come first" are taken to a whole different level here.

Cons

As one might imagine, being a fully commission sales person after the year one year and four months has it's draw backs.
