Pros

Edward Jones is a great firm. They truly believe in giving back to the community and if your in a department that follows they're responsibility based management philosophy...it's great!

Cons

Even though it's a private firm and not beholden to shareholders....they are beholden to the general partners of the firm. And if you're unlucky enough to work under a general partner who's just in it for the money, it can be miserable. Also...they brag about how 'nice' they are....but there are lots of people in the firm who are back stabbing ladder climbers and will do anything to bring you down if they think you're in the way

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
