Pros

Training was engaging and thorough. Training department personnel were more than helpful and always available for follow up. Regional events are very high end and accommodating.

Cons

Knocking on doors and not having an office to work out of is a major problem when trying to get advisors up and on their way. After being out of the company for a year I am still meeting people in the community that say there was no way they would have ever used EDJ based on the way they seek out new clients. New advisors are never given straight truthful answers. Makes you feel so less of a person than you are. 800 contacts through door knocking and networking with less than 6 months of being a vulture and attempting to get at the prospects money makes it an impossible task for a "new, new" advisor. Ask the hard questions before accepting a position with this company and make sure you get the answers not some half witted, beat around the bush answer that gets you off of their back. Very disappointed.

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
