Pros

Company is ethical. Treats clients well. Can be stable employment with the right FA at your office. Offers vacation. Training. Profit sharing. Limited partnership. Sick days. Jones offices all over US and Canada so you can easily transfer to another branch.

Cons

Have to work closely with Financial Advisor. It can make or break the BOA. Pay for BOA’s top out-you are expected to receive bonuses in lieu of annual pay increases -which take so much in taxes. So, no incentive to stay after lengthy tenure.

Pros

Make your own schedule. High earnings potential. Developing relationships with clients.

Cons

Inconsistent policies all the way around. They claim that the client’s interests always come first, however, their policies say that the firm has complete control over client accounts. I recently resigned in a non-competitive situation, on good terms, and was disallowed from contacting a select few clients to let them know about my situation. Instead, they received (myself included) a letter in the mail vaguely informing them about this without any explanation. I reached out to a few to explain why I left, however, the firm believes that I no longer be able to have a personal relationship with any of my clients (my own family included!!!!). I have been called by current employees and bullied because of the decision i made to reach out to a few clients. This firm preaches that a client can make their own decisions about who they work with and what they own, but the firm also very much believes that they actually own a clients account, not the client themselves.

Pros

Harsh training but paid

Cons

Compliance department is horrific. They treat you awfully and want to win whether you are innocent or not especially if you complain and they are ordered to find dirt on you
