Pros

Great culture and people are honestly willing to help. Great brand name and a lot of technology to help advisors.

Cons

Most of the advisors, even advisors who have been around years, do very little financial planning. Most of the work is transactional. Edward Jones is a very sells oriented company that dresses it's self up as a "doing the best thing for a client." However, most advisors at EJ are not CFP's and hardly anyone is a CPA. The brokers are not even allowed to discuss taxes. The position is more like a stockbroker than Financial Advisor. Nearly every broker there is a knock-off and wanna be fiduciary.

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
