Pros

Limited partnership is nice. Paid holidays and vacation...3 weeks after 5 years rewarding and challenging job

Cons

You have to be able to get along with your FA. Mine was a jerk ..... The company takes advantage of the part-time help. I was working part time but was there full time but my status was part time so I had no benefits. I was there every day.....got no paid holidays for 8 months and lost a week's paid vacation which I rightfully earned but since my status was part-time it was not recognized by Edward Jones. I actually had 3 days off for 1/2 year but if my status was full time I would had been paid for 5 days off and a lot of holidays. I finally went full time in status and was unable to take days off when necessary. It is very hard to get time off since there is NO ONE there to take your place. When my Dad was dying.....lying in bed dying for 2 weeks. I was allow only 1/2 day off. Sick days mean nothing because you are discouraged to use them. YOU HAVE TO COME IN NO MATTER WHAT!!!! The FA's have a lot better benefits but the BOA's should get more because they keep things going so smoothly.

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
