Pros

Its a great place to work if you are very self motivated. The income potential is great. There is not much supervision.

Cons

Its a sink or swim environment. As an advisor you must create leads through door knocking. At first the salary is extremely low. Often new Advisors will have to work out of their house.

Pros

lots of good people work for Jones support staff at headquarters very helpful can be your own boss

Cons

how office locations are picked is laughable for a fortune 500 company, strictly based on asset level in area. not on avg. income, rooftops, avg. cost of housing, traffic flow past office location, or anything else that might make sense. If you start as new advisor/ new location you will starve your first few years unless you can live on a dime. You will be held to the same timetable as another person who took over a large office. Doorknocking works, but if your new/new, plan on doing it first 5 years. Excessive failure rate for new/new. 90+ % should be unacceptable and corrections should be taken. Never start new/new there are easier ways to make it with Jones
