Pros

The salaries and pay ranges are good here. They also offer a decent amount of PTO. Penny is a great CEO with a great plan.

Cons

The culture at Edward Jones has a bias toward the grind. Don't expect to have anything that resembles work-file balance here. No one cares about what's going on in your personal life; there will be no consideration given for anything that doesn't fit within your leader's defined box of acceptable. The change management here is an absolute joke - it doesn't exist. Lots of blind leading the blind and turning their nose up when those with external experience try to show them how to get it done effectively. In many instances, even your own leaders won't know how to do the things they hold you accountable to do and there are very few resources here to teach people anything. The bias towards action here is borderline toxic. You move so quickly with so little information because you'd rather make a move than make the right move. This results in unnecessary re-work for the people actually making things happen. Meeting expectations here is equal to significantly exceeding expectations are most any other organization I've ever worked at.

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
