"good environment learning experience great opportunity to learn good people in office and workplace, loved to work nice growth great office and building"

"I've worked for Edward Jones since October 2019, a very ethical company that places its core values toward the client. The home office is located out of Saint Louis Missouri with regions throughout the United States. If you are seeking employment that allows for a work life balance, eager to assist clients with their financial needs and background in the financial industry its a great a fit for you. The company offers great 401k options, profit sharing opportunities, flexible schedule, medical, dental and life insurance options. The on boarding process can take up to 45 days or longer depending on full background check which goes as far back as 10 years. There are multitude of interviews that a new advisor must go through in order to become employed. Once employed you must pass all FNRA related testing, failure to pass testing may result in separation of employment. Once employed goal markers are provided and you have full opportunity to build your book of business. There are many pros for working for a very ethical company however some of the draw backs come from the hiring process. Needing to undergo such a thorough background check and pass examinations, the company should provide stability for the new employees of job security in case there is a failure to pass anyone of the examinations. Outside of the on-boarding process, great company to work for!"
