Pros

Jones offers great training and plenty of time to get the ball rolling. Most other FAs are very helpful and willing to offer great advice. The partnership structure of the firm really gives employees an ultimate goal to work for and creates an environment where one could easily spend his or her whole career.

Cons

Management needs to realize that different parts of the country respond differently to Jones' model. I go door to door in a suburb of Dallas and people don't respond as well as they do in a small town setting.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
