Pros
Edward Jones is a great place to get your feet wet in the financial services industry. They do a great job of training you to get your licenses and pay you through the process. There are also a lot of great people at the Home Office.
Cons
Sales model is very old school and not as effective for keeping new hires on board with the company. Door to door sales will be your primary job for the first couple of years and from my experience most people do not prefer to do business that way, yet Edward Jones requires it. Green screens are also very outdated, but I guess get the job done.
