If you take over $10M or more it's doable. If not...forget about it! - Financial Advisor Edward Jones Employee Review

over crowded markets because the partners finally realized it helps their partnership bonuses each year, too conservative with allowable investments, equities research is a joke (you'd be better of doing your own. If you want to trust them to tell you when to sell, be prepared for the stock to bottom out before the wire comes), out dated equipment (which they're working on), over crowded markets, variable conversation is VERY variable, STRESS, no family life (if holidays are important to you this isn't the place, expectations don't change based on number of selling days in the month so if you want to make your numbers out the gate you'd better not travel too far because Black Friday still needs 25 contacts filled in. Did I mention overcrowded markets? YOU WILL BE BROKE! FLAT BROKE for the first 3 years.
