Vantaggi
Good company if you know nothing about the industry and are more interested in sales than advising clients. Can make money if you have interest in selling 24/7 with no regard to actual advise rendering.
Svantaggi
You don't own your business. The noncompete is aggressively enforced. Investments are very limited. Not in line with the future of the industry. The brain washing by Jones that everyone is a crook but Jones is a joke. Jones gets sued as much or more than any company in the industry. Look it up. Stress and emphasis on sales will be the end of the company going forward in a fiduciary based industry. Cost to clients due to the one FA office will be a huge pressure point going forward. This company is still in the 80's or even earlier. They will need massive changes to keep up with the future. I don't see it happening. This is not the place for a long term career. There is a reason Jones is ridiculed in the industry. I didn't get it until I left. Now it's crystal clear. I'm actually embarrassed when I tell people I started at Jones. The place is the joke of the industry. Once you leave, you are dead to them. Like the mafia.
