Pros

Jones offers great training and plenty of time to get the ball rolling. Most other FAs are very helpful and willing to offer great advice. The partnership structure of the firm really gives employees an ultimate goal to work for and creates an environment where one could easily spend his or her whole career.

Cons

Management needs to realize that different parts of the country respond differently to Jones' model. I go door to door in a suburb of Dallas and people don't respond as well as they do in a small town setting.

Pros

They will give people a chance to be a financial advisor that don't have a big book to tranfer, like other companies look for.

Cons

They don't care about the people out doorknocking. If you are not making money for them they will cut you quick. It is in insanely hard thing to do, especially in the current environment and market conditions. They are also very conservitive and believet that every investor needs class A shares of American Funds. You are basically trained that all annuities and fee-based accounts are bad even though they can be a great fit for many investors.
