Pros

This is really a position that allows you full autonomy within a structured environment. You decide how to run the business but you also take full responsibility for success or failure. You are set up with a mentor and trainor and you have continuous contact with other colleagues.

Cons

Very competitive and high turnover both from people quitting and being let go. You must deliver the goods or you are out. You must build your business from scratch by knocking on doors and asking for business. If you get kicked out, the non-compete agreement keeps any clients you got at Edward Jones with another rep. If you can manage to stick around a few years you should be ok.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
