Pros

Training for Series 7 and 66 Great small salary for 1st year Sales ppl with cold calling experience will do well

Cons

They provide no help with generating leads even the commercials have no contact numbers. They place you within a box. No short sales, no options, no international clients Doorknocking here is useless. If you are a new FA you need to get lucky and have a office open with AUM or Have the Region leader like you and give you the accounts of the drop outs. In my area after 2 years only 2 New FA's made it to open there own offices out of about 110 new fa's.

Pros

- Strong culture and a high respect for the firm's history - Jones gives a LOT back to the community - Positive work environment - Good coworkers - Sr. management encourages feedback from all associates - Limited partner opportunities I do not work at EJ to get rich. I work there because I like my job and enjoy the environment. Do I wish I made more money? Sure, who doesn't? I won't leave EJ because there is so much more to my career than dollar signs. I am encouraged to develop and offered opportunities to excel in many different areas. And to anyone who thinks "the same branches at Jones are surveyed every year for the Fortune list," you are dead wrong.

Cons

- The financial advisor position is extremely hard and very stressful, and unfortunately many people out there can't cut it (this is a pro AND a con, though) - Home office salaries could be more competitive - 401(k) match could be higher
