Pros

Great opportunity to build your own business and eventually make a lot of money. If you like learning and working by yourself, Jones is the place for you. Really nice people and they give you a small amount of assets to manage right off the bat.

Cons

If you are collaborative and love working as part of a team, don’t work here as an advisor. Depending on what office they assign you, you could be completely on your own. They give you 100+ households that no one else wants in their books. You have to manage those accounts, plus meet monthly quotas with no administrative assistance.

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
