Pros

Edward jones gives you a business model that, if the chips fall into place, can workout to be a successful plan. Best reason to work for EDJ is to get experience, licensed, and some great training to go along with it.

Cons

Downsides are that nepotism is rampant. You are out on your own and may not get much help from the senior advisors. You must sign a 3 year contract so READ it carefully, if you quit with-in the first 3 years you are required to pay training cost up to $75,000. And they won't let you keep any of your clients .

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.
