Pros

The support of knowledgable co-workers. Everyone shares in each others success. The single broker office business model cuts out the office drama and if you like to work and go to work to get work done each day, the environment is excellent.

Cons

The current economic adjustment is challenging . Reminding customers of the risks and the importance of long term holdings is important.

Pros

Set your own hours and unlimited potential gains.

Cons

Unless you are a real shark and are trying to get people to buy something, no matter the cost, then you will not fit in. The training program makes you go door to door trying to sell investments to strangers. Just ask yourself one question, "If someone came to your door and tried to tell you to give them your life savings and invest it with them," you would say hell no. Welcome to the outdated business model of Edward Jones.

Pros

Great stability of you're good at what you do. The emphasis on career development is placed on the individual, but with the knowledge that help is encouraged and expected at the leader level.

Cons

Compensation strategy is murky, not enough transparency to all associates. We're told job grades are average to the market yet we never see the market studies. Also, the firm is very conservative so if you come in hoping to make broad stroke changes quickly you'll be frustrated... quickly.
