      Pathetic place to work for "the mediocre" in St. Louis

      Operations associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Cant think of any perhaps you get a little better treatment and I emphasize " a little" better treatment at the expense of under cutting you in salary and benefits ..... so dont thing the "little" better treatment as genuine this is at the expense of under cutting you in salary and especially benefits.

      Cons

      A lot of favortism in respect to family and offspring working for Jones showing up in promotions and favorticsm. A 3 thousand dollar and 6 thousand dollar deductible for insurance. I think Wal Mart cahiers have better insurance. Dont come to Edward Jones for the salary or the benefits . Most people end up at Edward Jones because of the job market in St. Louis -- "very little to choose from" therefore you will find may mediocre people working at the firm..

      Left after 9 years.....

      Financial advisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Independent atmosphere You can partipate alot in firm training, hiring, leadership or choose not to (the smart ones choose not too) Trips Schedule Good people work there Good entry to business They will make a prospecting machine out of you.

      Cons

      No retirement or solid sunset plan in place (this is why you have 73 year old advisors still going to work to churn 1 or 2 accounts each day and working for 5 hours a week) they wont pay them to retire. Play favorites on office handouts (i remember specifically when they gave some 22 year old 200million and then had the nerve to put him on the front of the uptick and tell the whole firm how great he was) i know it pissed alot of people off in that region and state (ohio, i think) Promise of LP is BS. i was seg 4, hired 13 advisors, field trained 12 advisors and my BOA was a partner and i was NOT! Reaseach stinks considering how much of you pay goes to the home office Buy and hold- does not mean buy and forget. I could go on, but my blood pressure is rising. Last thing-- if you think you have great friends at jones, leave and see if they are still your friend. Once you leave you are the enemy. lack of investment knowledge in training.

      Pros

      Great company to work for if you are placed in a good market. They definitely give you all the training you need. Great experience.

      Cons

      Door to Door prospecting. Most Financial Advisors in the firm are too busy to help whenever you call upon them. They do not help you build your book of business at all.
