Pros

Great Benefits and potential if you have a FA willing to work!!

Cons

Jones has really dropped the ball on hiring, they need to be screening more and making these younger FA's work instead of feeling entitled.

Pros

Got to meet lots of people and talk about their goals and educate folks on how investing works, buying stocks and bonds, retirement, financing items, credit, and mutual funds. Loved that part, hated the hustle and pushing part of making the numbers and accounts.

Cons

Guaranteed 3 year salary (with step downs) goes away in only a few months if you do not meet the really high sales goals. Dropped so low I was making $1,100.00 per month. And once you are behind it is nearly impossible to catch up. You need to work 6 days a week to make the numbers. You will be walking door to door in a full suit and tie in the summer and winters to get leads.

Pros

Learned a lot about the financial industry. Built some really solid client relationships. Company overall is good.

Cons

Working alone for many hours in a two person office can be very isolating. Financial Advisors have too much freedom with their schedule and are often not in. Worked with three FA's in 5 years, high turnover. Not always respected by FA's.
