Pros

-It's great to have name brand recognition and the free marketing that comes with working for a known commodity like Edward Jones. -Great training program -Also, if you are looking to avoid micro management, this is the place for you.

Cons

It can be tough to see enough decision makers by going door to door during the daytime. This is a pretty big obstacle if this is your first time building a book. Also, the majority of new advisors do not have an office, which can create a perceived credibility issue in the eyes of prospects.

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
