Business outlook
Pros
Great culture and people are honestly willing to help. Great brand name and a lot of technology to help advisors.
Cons
Most of the advisors, even advisors who have been around years, do very little financial planning. Most of the work is transactional. Edward Jones is a very sells oriented company that dresses it's self up as a "doing the best thing for a client." However, most advisors at EJ are not CFP's and hardly anyone is a CPA. The brokers are not even allowed to discuss taxes. The position is more like a stockbroker than Financial Advisor. Nearly every broker there is a knock-off and wanna be fiduciary.
