Pros

Was paid a salary during training (a joke) and studying for the Series 7, 66, and insurance exam. Free trip to Arizona to attend training classes or as I like to fondly refer to as a week of endless role playing with other poor shmucks involving various sales scenerios. If you like a cult like atmosphere and like being indoctrinated (the koolaid is served on a regular basis) you will truly find a home. Also, if you like to attend alot of indoctrination er training courses in the desert this is right up your alley.

Cons

One word. Doorknocking. For two years you are expected to go doorknocking like an Avon lady in the hopes that some old lady hands over her money to a complete stranger standing on her doorstep. They tell you that you are starting YOUR business and then do nothing but tell you how to run your supposed business.

Pros

Tons of freedom if you're successful.

Cons

You need to make sure you start your career with Edward Jones in the most beneficial branch location. This is typically done in taking over a vacated office. There is no guarantee you an office near you will be vacated when you want one. Beware the New/New from home starting method unless you don't care about income for the first two years.
