Pros

this company knows what it wants and is willing to help you along--everybody knows what your going through trying to build clients in the beginning because they had to do it as well.

Cons

they claim that they don't recruit people from the financial industry with current clients and want hard workers who are follow their formula instead, but it seems the only people who have come to edward jones with a clients already in tow are the only one's with any type of security in the beginning years.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
