Pros

- Running your own office - Will provide training pay for obtaining your securities licenses. Training pay is while you are studying.

Cons

- Bad culture for those who are creative. If you don't follow the Edward Jones "recipe for success" you're looked down on. I was an established advisor before joining this company and I was told if I didn't sell products door to door I wouldn't make it. Currently outperforming my sales expectations by over 200% and am leaving soon. - Compensation plan keeps getting changed in a way that negatively affects advisors

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
