Pros

I cannot list anything good.

Cons

RUN. Terrible organization. Very disorganized. Very poor management. No one takes accountability. They will gaslight you. All staff have very poor knowledge of the industry.. below industry requirements. A lot of very bad Financial Advisors that are very rude to internal staff and sometimes clients. Very unethical organization. They lack BASIC industry knowledge. They will bully and push blame. No one takes accountability. Most Financial Advisors act like used car sales people with zero basic financial knowledge and bully staff. Most staff have been working at Edward Jones for 10 plus years and still lack the basic knowledge clients pay a lot of money for. They all fake it. Surprisingly, they have clients. Financial Advisors do not care about servicing clients needs. HO is completely disorganized and management doesn’t have a clue what they’re doing. They will push a lot of their responsibility on associates and ask them how to do their job. Overworked. You will hate your job servicing this incompetent organization.

Pros

Holds firm to its conservative investment philosophy.

Cons

The firm has been behind the times for decades. It is great that they are finally trying to get up to speed, but the rate of change is not manageable. There has been a high turnover in support staff and it's hard to get accurate information when needing support. It also seems like they have lost their original focus of being the local friendly financial advisor in your backyard and being accessible to the masses. The focus has shifted to high-net-worth individuals and catering to the wealthy. I've watched several advisors get pushed out because they expressed concern and needed support they weren't receiving. When hired as an advisor I was told I'd receive all of this wonderful training of what to say and how to overcome objections and did not receive any of that training. Most of the training is a high-level overview with homework of figuring it out on your own time. In order to be successful as an advisor at Edward Jones, you need to plan on working 80 hours a week for at least the first five years at the firm with little to no support.
