Additional Culture Details
People like coming to work at Edward Jones. Why?
We are partnership centered. Owners have a different attitude than employees. As a firm owned by associates, we are all in this together. There are no competing interests because everyone puts clients first. Veterans train and mentor less-experienced financial advisors to open new branches nearby. As partners, we know that is good for all of us.
We are family friendly. The flexibility to accommodate family matters is built into our two-person branches. Financial advisors open a convenient branch location and set hours for that branch.
We are caring. We take care of each other in tough times, whether it is a local disaster, a cancer diagnosis or a family crisis. Caring is part of our culture and leaders are authorized to do the right thing to help associates navigate personal difficulties, whether that means extra time off, special pay arrangements, a loan, a health-benefits exception or preventative programs to head off a crisis.
