I wanted to love working here, but I gave up on EDJ when they gave up on me.... - Service Specialist Edward Jones Employee Review

*You're expected to develop yourself - Minimal assistance from leadership *Principals are rarely seen on site *Business professional dress code, however many people are skating by with business casual, even as leaders *Cubicle farms! You can hear people next to you chewing, opening lunches.....If you have misophonia really bad, don't work here unless you work from home. *Not enough meeting rooms *False sense of hope instilled upon hire - You'll believe you're apart of a family, that you can advance through the firm, and that everyone has your back - until someone sits on you for attempting to advance in the company *You'll rarely see people of color in leadership positions *HR is out of sight, out of mind - There isn't a constant presence of HR. *Most of the positions offered are on the phone. *You'll be trained to know more than your leader knows. Don't expect any assistance from leadership. *Lots of nepotism and favoritism - Mentoring is only offered by leadership if they like you. *You're encouraged to walk, network with your peers, attend town hall meetings and to enroll yourself into courses for training. Bu, if you work in Service or in a position where you're constantly on the phone; you only have two 15 minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch. If you use ACW "too often," they are constantly talking about numbers. Its annoying. With that short amount of time, how are you expected to: Get into shape, attend Business Resource Groups and network when leadership is constantly breathing down your neck about numbers in a department? *Leadership constantly changes "the rules" to call reviews and how your performance will be based. This has only recently happened to me. I don't like instability, so I quit.
