Pros
-According to their recruiters and trainers, you get to make your own schedule as a Financial Advisor. To a certain extent, that is true. -Decent starting pay for FAs to help get you off the ground -A LOT of training, and GOOD training. Headhunters will come a-calling to try to get you to join their company after you have been trained by Jones.
Cons
-As I stated above, you are told you get to make your own schedule as an FA. Sometimes this is true, but sometimes you will make an appointment for a client or have a family obligation, and your trainer will inevitably call the office while you are out. In my experience, they trainers will then chastise you for not being available. This is only one example of the mixed messages you get from this company. They want you to be out meeting clients, but they want you immediately available for the trainers. The most frustrating part about all of this is that the trainers will never pick up their phones when you call which is a waste of the FA's time. If you want to be told several different things and not have a concrete path, then this company will suit you. If not, look elsewhere.
