Pros

Some perks and profit sharing/bonuses. Flexible schedule

Cons

Edward Jones HQ is not a place of belonging for black people. It may vary by department , but there’s an underlying bias and discrimination towards black associates by a section of leadership. Reporting it doesn’t help either…instead of addressing the issue and assessing themselves to see what they can do to change that behavior and create a sense of belonging for all, you get the typical corporate response where they subject you to more scrutiny, and work to discredit you even further through reviews or other means, with the intention of creating grounds for potential dismissal should you take your complaints further up the chain. As a result, I’m following in my fellow black teammates footsteps and will soon be leaving the firm. I’m posting this to warn other potential future black and minority employees. Do not fall for the lip service of them creating a sense and place of belonging - yes they’re creating a sense and place of belonging, but minorities are excluded from entering that figurative place.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
