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

Outstanding support, training, mentoring. Top of the line support tools, good compensation, paid vacations all over the world (including airfair and accomodations) great benefits package and best of all opportunity to earn partnership. Good brand recognition and visibility. Excellent reputation.

Cons

Very high expectations of performance. Takes three years of really hard work to reach a comfortable level of success.
