      Good Place to Get Started

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great training relating to getting all required licensure. If you get an office, overhead is covered along with salary of assistant. The company is ubiquitous (which can also be a downside). You are able to work your own schedule.

      Cons

      Lower payouts...due to the fact that Edward Jones covers the overhead of your branch office. Very high attrition. Imposing contract for people new to the industry. The way you're trained to gain clients is by knocking on doors. With the individual office, company seems fractured. Home office does its best to work in this system, but it's difficult for the new advisor in his or her own office to really get business going...unless he or she is fortunate enough to take over a book.

      Pros

      Autonomy. EDJ's structure allows a person to work as an individual, as long as money is being made. Branch managers are located in the home office and no one is forcing me in the office or making me stay until a certain time. Also, EDJ does a really good job of offering investments they feel are most appropriate and cost-effective for retail investors in the long-run. Investors are truly thought of first.

      Cons

      If being an advisor is not your final calling, then you'd have to relocate to St. Louis to seek growth within the firm (which is probably likely for most broker-dealers). Also, EDJ disguises itself as a firm that's "solely" focused on "helping" people reach financial goals in a warm and fuzzy way. Mostly, that's true, but the "bottom-line" is what it's about when it's all said and done and you will be out the door now matter how many accounts you open per month.

      Pros

      Entrepreneurial environment with access to resources, tips, and tools for success. Industry recognized training and license preparation. 100% control over all aspects of business development. Superior product partner relationships.

      Cons

      Challenging business model for established adult/family lifestyle, i.e., more conducive for individuals with minor living expenses and little (or shared) responsibilities.
