Pros

The company offers excellent training, home office support and growth opportunities. They are willing to train if you are a people person who cares about your contributions.

Cons

It's all a matter of what financial advisor you work with. It can make or break the job. Even thought the Branch Office Administrator works for the company of Edward Jones the financial advisor is the one who dictates the day to day environment and completes the BOA's annual job appraisals, merits and growth opportunities. FA's are by nature very controlling. They need more accountability when it comes to how they manage their BOA's.

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.
