Edward Jones Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Edward Jones has a partnership structure and partnership culture. Advisors are paid while studying to pass the required exams, the training for new advisors is thorough. It includes the academic courses and also, real, hands on experience with another advisor who has volunteered to train. I have always appreciated the benefits of autonomy in my branch along with the support of a large company. It’s a good career for someone who is self motivated and entrepreneurial. I’ve been an advisor for over 20 years with Edward Jones."

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

"Great Company to work for. They truly care about the clients, and make it a firm-wide initiative to act as full fiduciaries for the clients. The culture is great, and overall a great place to work, especially if you love helping others."

"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!"

"Edward Jones was a great company. The culture was very supportive and they really want you to succeed. Even though being a Financial Advisor is diffcult work; they do a lot to help."

"Great company. Good work environment, but lags in terms of technological advancement."

"In 2007 I was hired part time for Edward Jones and worked for them for four years. It was a great job the entire time I worked for them. They had great training, staff and clientele as well as Supervision."

"Don't bother trying unless you already have a network of multi-million dollar friends and relatives lined up to do business. The areas they will assign you to are already tapped out by the old guys who are there now. When you crash and burn they will only give you the boot and give all your hard work over to the guys who are already established."
