Edward Jones reviews

Work life balance? false. You are expected to spend at least 10-12 hours in your branch. Many advisors are divorced because they lacked a work life balance and consistently put work over life....Edward Jones will replace you within days of you quitting/getting fired. Not worth it!!! Don't value company loyalty...They'll give assets to a fresh face before someone who has been working their tail off for years. Was told that women have no place as financial advisors Regional meetings can be dangerous atmospheres for a young female, especially when staying in hotels. Regional meetings are absolutely pointless and revolve around the fact that everyone wants to brag about how what they do is the best, most perfect way to do things FACD program was a complete joke, structured like a middle school class. The material could have been covered in 2 weeks. Pay is absolutely horrendous. Very possible to earn under minimum wage. If they have to "supplement" your income because business deals did not come through one month, you owed it back to them in the next months Some bonuses, above commission levels for FA's are 100k 3x/yr...and then they pay their incoming FAs horribly and expect them to stick around. Unliveable wage, especially when you are expected to pay for everything in your branch out of pocket. Leadership really is only worried about making sure they look like they are supportive to the region so they get better chances for LP/GP. They really do not care to keep you or actually help you if you are struggling You and one other person are the only people that make up the office. You better get along with them. FA's act like 10 year olds at most social functions.

Lack of one on one training. If you need help, you have to determine which department out of many it could be & call home office and sometimes you're on hold for 20+ minutes waiting to speak with someone. Once you finally reach someone, you're told you're in the wrong area and they need to transfer you.
