Edward Jones reviews

To achieve success, you have to be willing to be unscrupulous and somewhat dishonest to clients. You have to sell expensive and under-performing mutual funds. We all know (or should) that index funds are the best solution for the vast majority of clients, but this company will delude you into thinking you are doing right by someone by steering them into something else. Have some respect for yourself and DON'T. Just don't work here, you will end up hating yourself and what you've done to clients.

Slimey,controlling peers Terrible heath benefits Poor Technology Sophomoric approach to business development Meager pay first few years Do not start as a new-new. It is a revolving door and a way to for established advisors to gain assets when the new broker dies on the vine. Jones's 20/20 vision ( They want to ramp up to 20,000 advisors by 2020) has them cramming advisors on top of each other in small towns. Being the catfish of the financial industry already, this initiative is hurting advisors cash flow. I traversed neighborhoods that have been recently prospected by 3 different Jones guys. There is a lot of propaganda out there: Jones being a top 10 place to work...I want to know who Fortune is talking to; most likely home office weenies or advisors who inherited $15 mil plus. I was with Jones almost a year and a half and didn't see one new-new survive from my region.
