      Edward Jones Branch Office Assistant

      Boa branch office administrator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This is a very stable job. One does not have to worry about layoffs, cutbacks, etc. A college degree is not required and salary / bonuses can be quite generous. There are offices in practically every town across the country and relocating is easy. There is a rather steep learning curve but a lot of support locally and from headquarters in getting through it. There are enough industry changes to keep the job intellectually challenging. The hours are consistent and predictable. There is a lot of interaction with clients. The are also opportunities for upward growth in the office, region or even nationally.

      Cons

      The offices are small, consisting of an advisor and anywhere from 1 to 3 office staff. If personalities don't click, it can be a challenge. The pace can be fast paced so expect to multi-task or get interrupted in the middle of a project.

      Is what you make of it

      Financial advisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -independence -ability to build your own business but not have to run it and have amazing support behind you

      Cons

      -Regional leadership is made up of financial advisors and they make pretty terrible leaders -so much of your success depends on whether assets are shared with you. I know in other regions sharing assets is done professionally, but in mine it was about how much you stroked the regional leader's ego. -In order to receive a maximum partnership offer you have to hold a leadership role, in my region whether you were granted a leadership position depended entirely on your personal relationship with the regional leader and not at all on your experience. -Company prides itself on being a place where you can achieve work live balance but the firms entire culture is built around making type A employees feel like they are inadequate if they don't produce more.

      BOA watch your back

      Boa branch office administrator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      None none none. Good for FA you can get away with abuse. This is a financial advisor run business. Wish I had good to say. But l don't.

      Cons

      This is a place that you can't trust. It's FA driven and when FA does wrong BOA goes down. Worst company ever. Get treated bad and doesn't matter. So many Boa's lie for Fa's and treat the staff wrong. Home office knows and does nothing! Stay away. The FA gets the bonus but the boa does the work! Go figure! Even laws broken and no one does anything. I wouldn't work for this company unless at the home office.
