Pros
The training program is very supportive to help pass Series 7 & 66. There is a possibility of work life balance after 5/6 years, but family suffers prior to that.
Cons
After that, there's an island and if you're not around someone that takes you under their wing, you'll be forgotten and no one will help until it's too late. Most of the training after passing exams is called just in time when actually it's too late. It is all volunteerism so expectations of support are just a verbal expression not reality. There are safety issues going door to door. With technology EDJ needs to embrace a safer way to grow business. They preach growth of a diverse group of FAs but if you're a woman or black there is nothing in place to increase retention. The turnover for both women or minorities is huge. They have a diversity group that offers nothing to women or minorities just a falsehood of support through existence only. Pay could be better too. The compensation is okay compared to other firms.
