      It's not for everyone.

      Pros

      Pretty flexible work environment. Easy to come in/leave early if you wanted to. The job security is about the best you'll find out of any brokerage firm. There have literally never been any layoffs. Although, bonuses can easily go away, and the firm is currently not giving any raises whatsoever.

      Cons

      Promotions are very hard to come by, but there are some options of lateral movements within the firm. If you don't live in Tempe or St. louis, then your only career option with Jones would be a financial advisor or branch office assistant. Home office associates' pay is not great.

      Pros

      Superior Training program to receive necessary licenses. Great support and follow up. Training team is encouraging and motivating. Work with you to assure the best opportunities for success.

      Cons

      Great place to work. Requires self motivated and disciplined person to be a successful financial sales person. The expectation of a new trainee are challenging though ultimately designed to create a successful start as an FA.

      Remember going Door to Door asking for people to buy something in Elementry School?

      Pros

      Training and support to get you licenced and prospecting for clients is great All local management is on a volunteer basis so you get to learn from those that want to teach you Run and operate your own office Women do very well here due to the nature of how Edward Jones solicits business

      Cons

      Literally go door to door in neighborhoods trying to find clients. If you do not do this everyday for the first 3-5 years you will not make it. Buy and hold philosophy for clients is more buy and ignore. The production requirements force new financial advisors to sell upfront single commision products instead of building a book with managed accounts. There is more emphasis on recuriting new advisors than training current advisors
