Pros

Can't think of any at all.

Cons

When they tell you "95% of our FA's in training pass the series 7 test." Ask them for the statistic of how many are fired before they even get to sit for the exam. They won't tell you. But the truth is likely less than half of the 80 to 100 in each new study group will be fired before the fourth week of study. Very ruthless company, poor study tutors. You are and will always be just a number to them, not a person. I left a good paying job only to be fired three weeks into the study program because my scores weren't high enough. Believe EVERY bad thing you read on Glassdoor about Edward Jones. Learn from my life's mistake!

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.
