Would you call yourself a relationship builder, a problem solver or a business partner? If you answered yes, we need you on our team.
At Edward Jones, we are very intentional in calling our field associates branch teams.

You are the first voice a client hears when they call on the phone – the first face they see when they walk in the door. You have many responsibilities, but the most important is getting to know your clients so well that you not only help them identify their problems – you see them coming a mile away. You are a trusted business partner to your financial advisor. Working together to help your clients achieve their most cherished financial goals.

It’s like professional
development in the
world’s largest sandbox.
Training, continuing education and mentoring – that’s only the beginning. Our headquarter campuses offer thousands of roles – and as many opportunities – for you to try new skills, get involved on different projects and step up as a leader. You’re in charge of your professional development. We just provide the opportunities.
Hear from Experienced Advisors who’ve transitioned their practice to Edward Jones.
Where clients come first. And you are part of a branch team making a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Where the culture is surprisingly collaborative. And opportunities to lead push you to grow – as you grow your practice.
Extra compensation
when you need it most –
with no ceiling on how
much you can earn.
And we really mean it. There is no ceiling on how much you can earn as we have a work hard and be rewarded philosophy. We also understand that new financial advisors might be more worried about the floor. So we provide a guaranteed salary for your first four years. Did we mention bonuses, commissions, profit sharing and travel awards?
“As hard as I want to work determines how successful my business can be.”
– Mark Audet, CFP Financial Advisor – St. Louis
Come as you are. We will teach you everything you need to know.

But they have one thing in common: a desire for a rewarding career that empowers them to make a difference in people’s lives. Your training begins with six months of dedicated onboarding – and is built out with mentoring, learning plans tailored to your needs, and 6,000-plus at the Headquarters making sure you have everything you need to succeed.

Joshua Bowden

In 2004, I was a single parent supporting three young girls. I worked for a not-for-profit organization, and my income was not enough to support a family…Initially, I joined the firm to increase my income, or at least have some control over it. Although I worked very hard to build my business, I had the freedom to control my schedule and my income.

When it comes to your
compensation,
we want to be clear.
#1 Your performance drives your compensation – and we won’t limit it with earning caps. Not now, not ever.
#2 Our compensation is competitive and multi-faceted. Commissions and trimester bonuses – based on individual branch and firm profitability – make up the bulk of your variable income. But your total payout may include travel awards and profit sharing. And the opportunity to be rewarded for transitioning client relationships to financial advisors looking to grow.
#3 Our compensation is simple and transparent. We make it easy to understand how you are rewarded and strive to minimize grid changes. You know exactly what to expect and how to impact your results.
Our partnership structure frees you to focus on your clients.
Being a partnership makes us distinctly different from our competitors. More than a structure, it’s a mindset. And it permeates every aspect of our business. From how we work with each other – think collaboration not competition – to our long-term investment philosophy. It’s most at work in our shared focus on doing what’s right for the client. And it’s easy for us to do. Because we have no competing interests. No shareholders clamoring for short-term profits. We can take the long view, because we only answer to our clients. And to ourselves. Our financial advisors find this single-minded focus freeing. A clear mandate for success. And a clear path to get there.
Transitioning your
practice is a difficult
decision.
We’re here to help.
Moving your practice to another firm may be the most stressful decision of your professional life. We understand. And our transition team is here to help. From early days when you are just beginning to consider the opportunity. To that glorious first day of opening your practice. And our support is not one-size-fits-all. We will tailor your transition to you and your practice – with you leading the way. Ensuring a smooth transition for you and your clients. And a solid path forward for next-level growth.
Investing in You
As a valued branch-team member, you will share in the success of your branch – and the firm. Our market competitive compensation program recognizes your individual contributions, promotes a long-term career, contributes to your financial security and promotes the well-being of you and your family.

Associate Testimonial
I was a high school teacher. When I decided I wanted to make a career change at 36, I looked at all of the skills I brought to the table – planning, problem solving and, most importantly, building relationships. Financial advisor was one of the future in-demand professions, and when I looked at what it took to be a good advisor, it matched my list of strengths.
