Pros

The company offers excellent training, home office support and growth opportunities. They are willing to train if you are a people person who cares about your contributions.

Cons

It's all a matter of what financial advisor you work with. It can make or break the job. Even thought the Branch Office Administrator works for the company of Edward Jones the financial advisor is the one who dictates the day to day environment and completes the BOA's annual job appraisals, merits and growth opportunities. FA's are by nature very controlling. They need more accountability when it comes to how they manage their BOA's.

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
