BOA's manage the office and the Financial Advisor; FA's get the credit and big $$$. No matter what Home Office says. - BOA Branch Office Administrator Edward Jones Employee Review

Pros

Paid OTJ training, exciting environment, good people all around you. Very helpful support staff at Home Office.

Cons

Lots of hype and 'team' spirit, but the bottom line is all that matters. Don't buy the simpering phrase: 'we couldn't do it without you'. All BOA's have their FA's footprints imprinted on their backs; without the BOA, the FA's business would wither and die. However, EDJ does not support you as the law requires nor as they attest. FA's make the $$$; guess who gets the support - no matter what!

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
