Pros

Edward Jones is a great place to get your feet wet in the financial services industry. They do a great job of training you to get your licenses and pay you through the process. There are also a lot of great people at the Home Office.

Cons

Sales model is very old school and not as effective for keeping new hires on board with the company. Door to door sales will be your primary job for the first couple of years and from my experience most people do not prefer to do business that way, yet Edward Jones requires it. Green screens are also very outdated, but I guess get the job done.

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
