Pros

Work life balance, unlimited income, career support, moral support, travel rewards, partnership, profit sharing 100% vested immediaty, you are able to decide who your clients are, compliance will always have your back if your legal and ethical, and EDJ changes lives (yours and your clients). If a person gives 110% for the first two years, EDJ will reward you with a career that you will retire from. Follow the recipe, enjoy the Kool-Aide!

Cons

You have to "put some hay in barn" for the first two years. You will work more than you have ever though possible. You will be stressed physically and emotionally. Your children will wonder where you are during the week. All your new coworkers will have excuse after excuse on why they aren't successful. The anxiety of failure will be your motivation. If you can accept this hard time in your career, you and you're family will be rewarded. My wife and I used to fight about money, no we only argue about where we go on vacation. The struggle is real:)

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.
