Pros

My direct leaders are great, the company had a small company culture when I first started, I could work remote.

Cons

1. The culture is changing rapidly to a more cut throat, big company culture that does not care about it's employee's. 2. ED hired associates on as 100% remote but changed that to you have to come into the office three days a week if you live within an hour of a home office (Tempe, STL, or Canada). Regardless of whether or not you were hired on the grounds that it was a remote position. 3. Anyone who transitioned to a home based associate after the pandemic, is now required to return to work. The process for becoming a home based associate is to fill out the request and have it approved by your leader and then you are an HBA. The company completely reneged on this and decided to make everyone who lives with in an hour return regardless.

Pros

Holds firm to its conservative investment philosophy.

Cons

The firm has been behind the times for decades. It is great that they are finally trying to get up to speed, but the rate of change is not manageable. There has been a high turnover in support staff and it's hard to get accurate information when needing support. It also seems like they have lost their original focus of being the local friendly financial advisor in your backyard and being accessible to the masses. The focus has shifted to high-net-worth individuals and catering to the wealthy. I've watched several advisors get pushed out because they expressed concern and needed support they weren't receiving. When hired as an advisor I was told I'd receive all of this wonderful training of what to say and how to overcome objections and did not receive any of that training. Most of the training is a high-level overview with homework of figuring it out on your own time. In order to be successful as an advisor at Edward Jones, you need to plan on working 80 hours a week for at least the first five years at the firm with little to no support.
