Pros

no start up costs, will train you every inch of the way on how to sell, your on your own to learn how to make your clients money. Good way to get foot in door for college grads and people with no capital to start thier own business

Cons

40% payout accross the board basically, your on your own but still not feel as though you are in control. They offer a fee base or commission base, your choice, but if your looking to be a fee based broker, ed jones profitability and requirements do not meet standards for using fee base products, meaning you wont be meeting standard commission guidelines if you try to build fee base business, you will most def go broke and lose your job trying to do whats right for the client

Pros

Easy job Name recognition within St. Louis Access to top management but it doesn't get you anywhere If you want to be doing the exact some thing for 20 years this is the place

Cons

VERY few promotions from within Pay stinks benefits are very expensive and not that great Lack of career progression Lack of acquisition of new skill The 'Beverly Hillbillies' run the firm No cultural awareness No regard for higher education, in fact some were criticized for getting avanced degrees General partners will flat out lie to you Movement to other departments is almost impossible No cultural or gender diversity
