Pros
Training and mentorship is excellent. The training programs that you go through at different levels of your career progression are intensive and very thorough. The downside is that there is a lot of emphasis on how to sell to your customers, and not how to determine if what your selling is the most suitable option.
Cons
You are pushed into following their model of success which may or may not agree with your personal values and comfort level. Door-knocking is something that is necessary at Edward Jones and if you don't like walking around your neighborhoods like a door-to-door salesperson, then you will not enjoy your life at Edward Jones. You will have lots of help along the way, but if you don't like the taste of their kool-aid, better start looking elsewhere fast.
