Pros

Other BOAs are a warm, friendly environment, benefits are pretty good, if you get the right FA you may learn a lot about securities, clients were wonderful

Cons

Home Office does little to protect BOAs from mean, nasty Financial Advisors. As long as the FA is making money, that's all that matters. No growth opportunities for BOAs unless you want to move to St. Louis or become an FA. Pay was decent for non-degreed associates, but for those with degrees it's terrible. Compensation is based on the FA's performance, so the BOA can suffer because they work for a non-performing FA

Pros

The company does care even if they seem to have lost sight of that a bit lately. The current flexibility is nice although that's about to change with the return to work mandate for only local folks (what?!?). Not very stressful.

Cons

Extremely political and extremely inefficient. The number of GPs is stupid high and they all seem to compete against each other for more power/status instead of looking out for the company good.

Pros

There were some very decent, outgoing and helpful people at the company, but I felt they were not treated well.

Cons

Hired to assist clients in accessing their accounts, the task itself was mostly fruitless due yo the overwhelming number of clients who had just enough computer knowledge to be dangerous. Most aged clients. But even worse was the abuse I saw from management to employees. I'd heard terrible things about Edward Jones from friends who'd worked there. None of the people I knew were still working at EJ -which says something. Management tends toward being old, white and bigoted/prejudiced, both from how I would describe the work environment from my experience, and what my former friends had to say about Edward Jones.
