Pros

Edward Jones is committed to giving FA's the opportunity to succeed. The training and entry salary they offer is amazing. The company has good, and modern, benefits and treats all employees respectfully. If you can make it work you can have an unlimited income potential.

Cons

To achieve the potential in a reasonable amount of time, you will need to work very hard and have some luck. Working hard will get you there eventually but will take longer than you expect. A lucky few big clients, or being in the right place/time to take over an existing book will be critical in getting you to where you want to be in less than 6-8 years.

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
