Pros

-An 'ok' culture and home office to work from -Potential to become a limited partner

Cons

-Senior managment that lacks any direction and has started to rely almost entirely on consultants to tell them what to do -A focus on the wrong things, tyring to micromanage home office employees instead of figuring out how to retain and gain FAs

Pros

There is a strong sense of community among other Branch Office Administrators (BOAs), which provides valuable peer support and shared learning. Additionally, the Home Office is accessible and responsive; support is generally a phone call away, and the information provided is typically accurate and reliable.

Cons

You will spend the first six months focused on learning the culture of Edward Jones, with limited practical or hands-on training. There is little formal system training or structured knowledge-base instruction. Much of the learning experience is dependent on the Financial Advisor (FA). If the FA is available and engaged, training and interaction occur; if the FA is too busy or disengaged, support and development are limited. Around the one-year mark, expectations increase significantly. However, these expectations are often not matched with additional training or support. At that point, employees are largely expected to self-train and independently meet performance standards that were not clearly or consistently taught.

Pros

Flexibility, compassionate and caring, opportunities for advancement

Cons

Typically a small office set up with one financial advisor and one administrator so if you are someone that is social and likes to interact with co workers there’s not really an opportunity for that
