Pros
Cant think of any perhaps you get a little better treatment and I emphasize " a little" better treatment at the expense of under cutting you in salary and benefits ..... so dont thing the "little" better treatment as genuine this is at the expense of under cutting you in salary and especially benefits.
Cons
A lot of favortism in respect to family and offspring working for Jones showing up in promotions and favorticsm. A 3 thousand dollar and 6 thousand dollar deductible for insurance. I think Wal Mart cahiers have better insurance. Dont come to Edward Jones for the salary or the benefits . Most people end up at Edward Jones because of the job market in St. Louis -- "very little to choose from" therefore you will find may mediocre people working at the firm..
