Edward Jones reviews

They like to sue over everything, use fear and intimidation to scare everyone. If you leave, they will try to smear you to delay your conversion of clients. They like to say that you are running your own business...nothing could be further from the truth. The product offerings are limited, no financial planning options only needs analysis, they won't let you put their FAST proposals in a folder and give it to the client. The hypocritical Regional Manager was fired because of sexual harrassment...They let a 20 year guy go after paying out some arbitration claims, then told everyone that he left for health reasons.

-As I stated above, you are told you get to make your own schedule as an FA. Sometimes this is true, but sometimes you will make an appointment for a client or have a family obligation, and your trainer will inevitably call the office while you are out. In my experience, they trainers will then chastise you for not being available. This is only one example of the mixed messages you get from this company. They want you to be out meeting clients, but they want you immediately available for the trainers. The most frustrating part about all of this is that the trainers will never pick up their phones when you call which is a waste of the FA's time. If you want to be told several different things and not have a concrete path, then this company will suit you. If not, look elsewhere.
