Pros

Great company to work for. Training for Series 7 & Series 66 is not only top notch, Jones pays for the training as well as paying you full-time. Home office training is excellent too. Fantastic corporate culture of peer assistance as well as outstanding home office support for FA's. Company's ethical standards very high. Great opportunity for those that are not afraid of hard work but seeking great opportunity.

Cons

New Department of Labor guidelines make it more difficult to start and perpetuate a book of business for new financial advisors. Jones is looking to rearrange commission stuctures to offer assistance. Be sure to ask about it during interview process.

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
