Pros

Pay while you get your license. If you are nostalgic for the olden days, this may be the firm for you.

Cons

Analysts never met a stock they didn't like. Bullish all the way to the bottom of the pool. Technology and sophistication are lagging most other firms. Door to door sales model doesn't work for everyone. Financial product training is extremely limited. Organizational structure at the local level is almost non existent. You will be working for yourself, by yourself and you will only get help from other FA's that are trying to run their own business.

Pros

Internal corporate ethics match the public image - very client-oriented, very consistent focus on placing client needs first. Excellent training and good corporate brand. Company provided exemplary support during a family crisis.

Cons

Sales approach is behind the times, still too product-focused rather than solutions-focused. One finds oneself competing with many other new hires for resources and attention. Doorknocking to build leads works, but is exhausting.

Pros

Edward Jones offers some of the best training and ongoing support I have ever seen. They also continually talk about customer service and doing what is best for the client.

Cons

Having 1 BOA in the office makes it very difficult at time to take time off. However they do encourage on-call boa's it is still a system that needs work.
