Pros

Not much I can say to recommend this company to a potential employee or customer.

Cons

Edward Jones constantly talks about putting the client's interest before their own but they don't actually do it. When potential clients shied away because of the high fees, I was told not to talk about fees or costs until I got the client to transfer his or her money (probably illegal, certainly unethical). The truth is that EJ can't put client interests first because if they did they would tell them to use Fidelity or Vanguard.

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
