Pros

Edward Jones IS offers excitement for those who want a chance to reorg into new groups frequently. You get a chance to work with new managers and sometimes new technology. The limited partnership opportunity is a great investment, but you typically wait 2 years to qualify.

Cons

Some of the reorgs are frivolous and the people who make director and general partner in IS leave rational minds bewildered. Starting out with 2 weeks vacation is not competitive. Pay raises follow a matrix that tends not to give people more than 3-5% unless you have a promotion. Higher raises require numerous approvals.

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.
