Pros

Talented, smart employees with years of dedication to the firm.

Cons

Managing Director and external hires are destroying the very essence of what this firm stands for. Home Office employees are treated as an afterthought with lower bonuses, lower pay and minimal raises. Certain compliance positions require various FINRA supervisory licenses and associates are not compensated for the additional risk they take on. Employees are now being told they will go back to work in January 3 days a week when they were told they can work from home. Employees were led to believe that this was permanent. . This decision offers no compensation for travel during a time of high inflation. Employees are petrified about what happens next.

Pros

Edward Jones gives you all that you need to be successful. Their training is off the charts amazing and their support is fabulous. I am not going to lie, it is hard work but, if you're willing to work hard and follow their training, you can succeed. The work life balance is also wonderful. It's hard to find a company that cares as much about their employees as their clients, I must say, Edward Jones does great in both. Edward Jones will be my career for the rest of my life. Thank you Edward Jones!

Pros

There is a great sense of comradary among associates to help and appreciate one another. Many of the General Partners are very kind, approachable individuals who see their roles as providing the right support so their team can be successful. This type of leadership trickles down to all levels and makes for happy, hard working teams.

Cons

However, in stark contrast to these empathetic leaders are the imposter leaders who talk the talk of being in service to others, but in reality are only out for themselves. Jekyll and Hyde. These General Partners talk the Jones talk well, yet treat their teams terribly by not respecting personal time off, expecting people to read their minds, changing their minds and then gaslighting others by claiming they got the information wrong, and demanding that Teams revolve around them. These leaders aren't looking to support but to rather use associates to climb on their backs to look good for those outside their team. I found it painfully ironic to be working at a firm that has won "best of" awards and yet be subjected to toxic leadership that kept me in survival vs thrive mode.
