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 Welcome to the outdated business model of Edward Jones.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

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
