Pros

lots of good people work for Jones support staff at headquarters very helpful can be your own boss

Cons

how office locations are picked is laughable for a fortune 500 company, strictly based on asset level in area. not on avg. income, rooftops, avg. cost of housing, traffic flow past office location, or anything else that might make sense. If you start as new advisor/ new location you will starve your first few years unless you can live on a dime. You will be held to the same timetable as another person who took over a large office. Doorknocking works, but if your new/new, plan on doing it first 5 years. Excessive failure rate for new/new. 90+ % should be unacceptable and corrections should be taken. Never start new/new there are easier ways to make it with Jones

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
