Edward Jones Reviews

Ive currently worked at Edward Jones for 2 years. I have 54mm AUM, grossing approximately 480k annual revenue. I have considered going independent, but don’t know a ton about that process. I am looking to build a team and grow my practice beyond the limitations of Edward Jones. What is the recommended process to start looking at options?

Is Commonwealth good as advertised?? It just seems to good to be true. ( all the top ratings in JD Power etc) Edward Jones also has excellent J.D. Power scores but we definitely have issues.........

Edward Jones is charging me $40 for a good knight account. The client refused to close the account a year ago and it is only worth $60. Is that even legal??? Thoughts

FAS at other firms... how often do you get feedback from a client that says "I can't believe how much paperwork I actually get from you guys." I swear to God in Edward Jones it's about once a day.

Family member is in their mid-70s still working FT but as an indep contractor and does not have employer backed retirement account. Income is close to $200k. Has reverse mortgage, some car loan debt, low assets, no life insurance. Has about $80k to invest. Should they (a) invest thru a financial advisory firm like Edward Jones (& pay applicable fees) or (b) simply invest their $ in low fee mutual funds or (c) something else entirely?
