Great training program, they want you to pass your series testing. - Financial Advisor Career Development Edward Jones Employee Review

Pros

Lots of resources to help you pass your tests, including a daily schedule to keep you on track. Upon finishing training, you are given a lot of autonomy to build business how you want, with help from EDJ. Every office only has 1 financial advisor (though this could also be a con)

Cons

Long hours (45-55 hours typically, though one week I worked 77 during training), includes saturdays. Building your own business can sometimes be hard without a direct supervisor telling you what to do. Must be comfortable with door knocking, though it is an effective way to find clients.

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
