Edward Jones reviews

People say EJ has the best training. True, the best training to teach you to knock doors.

- They pride themselves on their training program, but the program provides virtually no applicable information on products. It's basically generic sales training that can be obtained from any company. -They pride themselves on a "culture of support" but your fellow advisors are just as cut-throat as you would expect. Company rarely extends any sort of support the the advisors in the field. Really the only support you will have are your product partners, but that begs the questions of why you would bother with a big firm if they won't be there for help. -They company isn't sure how to handle their own growth. They hired a surplus of advisors over the past 5 years, but haven't been willing to build new office locations in order to house the advisors. So many of us are stuck working from home after being sold on the promise of having a business location of our own. -The base salary is incredibly low after the study period. You are eased into a commission style pay structure, but you are extremely underpaid until your assets under management rise significantly compared to other firms that run the same style of training program.
