Pros

Name recognition - one of the bigger firms Flexible Schedule Good professional/personal life balance Autonomous Office Great Training Invests in new hires

Cons

Very little financial planning for clients and prospects, more product pushing/sales, door-knocking (somewhat effective but very old fashioned and archaic), little time to prove success.

Pros

Best reasons to work at Jones is their flexibility with family committments. Firm also gives FA their own office and an office administrator. Also have diversification trips that FA's can win if they sell a certain amount of diversified portfolio products. Ranked #2 on Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For.

Cons

Don't have the capacity to support HNW investors. Discourage FA's from prospecting in areas where HNW investors reside. Firm seems to have a low self-image when it comes to serving HNW investors. Average account size natiowide for Jones FA's is only $50,000. Top producing FA's at Jones would only be mid-level at larger national wirehouses.
