Edward Jones reviews

If you can’t knock on people’s door in a full suit all day and get their name, number, and financial need, you’re toast. They encourage product pushing at the door to get 25 names and numbers/ day rather than offering good financial advice. They hire people mostly from other industries, teach them how to knock, but not actually provide advice. Coming in as an experienced advisor, I was appalled by what I heard and saw their “top” advisors doing and saying. A lot of misinformation and pushing and churning to generate commissions. They say it is all about relationships, which is important, but a relationship is not why people pay over 1% advisory fees. They pay for good financial advice that their culture does not support.

Heavily mistreated by Associate Relations, as they sided with the Financial Advisor. Although the Financial Advisor yells, micromanages, and displays aggressive behavior with me and clients. They claim to care about you as a firm associate, but their behavior and actions show otherwise. They care more about money over people. The firm expects too much of Branch Office Administrators for what they pay us, without truly listening to what we need and not providing the necessary resources. Also, Home Office provides misinformation and the Branch Office Administrator is blamed for it.
