Pros
Great study program - very comprehensive study for passing the Series 7 and 66 and you get paid while studying. Good organization overall and well respected in the industry. Treat clients well and have a high customer satisfaction as a result.
Cons
Working from home doesn't work! As a new FA, you can feel very LONELY working from your home, not only because nobody is around you but being new to the industry and getting rejected time and again over and over without having the camaraderie of peers and management to support you directly and without having a base of clients can get old very fast and having a list of "hotlines" for each subject is not a good definition of support. Most new FAs at Edward Jones have no industry experience and yet are thrown out to the sharks to "figure it out on their own". Not my way of feeling confident about a new job.
