Pros

Decent pay, bonus structure, talented workforce

Cons

Edward Jones claims to be different, but they are just like any other corporation. Working here used to be a delight, but they continue to make changes in the wrong direction. Mandating a return to office when many have been working remote for 4+ years is life changing. Many were hired as a home based associate with no reason to believe it would ever change. For most, this changes everything. Even as an associate who can remain remote for various reasons, this is an unfortunate change. Having a mixture of people in a conference room and people on Zoom is not conducive to a productive setting. Pay rates will not be adjusted to accommodate this change. Senior leaders continue to be sourced externally and taint the once admirable EJ culture.

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.
