      Good. Support as a starting FA was excellent. Biggest stress was constant need to hit numbers.

      Pros

      - Great support as starting FA - Private partnership: You can become an owner of Edward Jones - The harder you work, the better you get paid (in general). - Your own office and assistant

      Cons

      - Performance ("Exceeding"; "Meeting"; "Below") is based on your 4 month rolling average for gross commissions. Every month you need to be above meeting and preferably meeting. This rolling average increases every month for 5 years. - Falling below exceeding early on (within first 2 years for sure) will bring on a call from a regional leader or mentor to ensure you're not losing steam. Falling below Meeting will bring a call from head office and eventually forced programs to bring up performance.

      Don't apply here if you want to think for yourself.

      Pros

      Seem to be fairly reasonable about work life balance, but that all depends on your department and leader. Profit sharing is a nice bonus.

      Cons

      To assume you can make decisions, have people listen to you, be creative or have any amount of fun at your job is a stretch. Having a personality and/or think outside the box is not encouraged here. We all sacrifice and are expected to do more with less so the super high ups can keep on getting their millions in bonuses.
