Pros
Freedom to make your own schedule. Founding principles of Ted Jones to treat and look after those who built the firm (the employees vs non-employee family members). Systems and procedures to set your career path for success.
Cons
Employed with the firm for 9+ years. At the height of the pandemic, pre-vaccines, we were mandated to close in-office operations. My numbers dropped and I missed expectations by 0.16 of 1%. A fraction, of one percent. I appealed to their human side, as my wife was 7mo pregnant, unemployed as an event manager with Hilton, and I was a lifetime employee with the firm. Started at 25 and thought I’d retire there. Showed proof of business that would close the following month, well above the nominal shortfall, and instead of granting me an exception given the circumstances, they terminated my employment. Shocked and disappointed to say the least.
