Pros

Edward Jones is a good place to gain experience. Their training is excellent and the support from home office is great. The biggest downside is that it's often who you know that makes difference. This is nothing new of course, but it's the difference between loving this job and hating it.

Cons

If you don't like who you work with, this can be an unpleasant job. Each branch consists of two employees, so you better get along. Also, suck-ups get favoured sometimes, and usually are the type of person you don't want to work under. Again, nothing new in the world.

Pros

Entrepreneurial environment with access to resources, tips, and tools for success. Industry recognized training and license preparation. 100% control over all aspects of business development. Superior product partner relationships.

Cons

Challenging business model for established adult/family lifestyle, i.e., more conducive for individuals with minor living expenses and little (or shared) responsibilities.

Pros

Good training program for getting your seven and sixty-six. They do a really good job at hiring the nicest people. They do a good job training you how to prospect. You don't have to know anything about investing or the economy to get hired.

Cons

You work alone. You work 70+hours a week. You door knock. Terrible at sales training. Nepotism.
