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.
Our Branch Office Administrators come from many different career backgrounds. Sales. Marketing. Customer service. Even finance. 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.
Put your talent to the test – Working with the industry’s best.
There’s no better way to flex your skillset than working with the best. And you will find the best here. We aggressively recruit a vast array of top talent that help us innovate. And build the tools and systems that support our goal of being the #1 choice for the serious long-term investor. Our clients’ needs are becoming more complex. They have high expectations for a personalized user experience that puts them in control – so they can feel confident managing their financial lives. You won’t be competing with your colleagues to develop the next breakthrough technology. We are a team. Some say a family. And our collaborative culture permeates every aspect of our firm. Including tech innovation. Everyone is working toward the same goal: to create technology to make it easier for our clients to do business with us. And when any of us succeed, it’s a win for all of us.
Your colleagues will inspire you. And hold you accountable.
Our vast resources, solid reputation and commitment to making a meaningful difference in people’s lives attract next-level talent that creates an inspiring work environment. You won’t just be working alongside some of the industry’s best – you will be collaborating with them. Our relationships with our clients and each other are, in a word, authentic. And we hold ourselves accountable to both. Building products, services and technologies that strip out the complexity for our branch teams – and elevate our client-centric experience.
You can see the future. Because you’re building it.
Our client-first focus comes with a promise: to think like them, not just about them. So much so that we can anticipate their needs before even they do. How? By staying ahead of changing regulations and mitigating risk for over 7 million clients. Developing new tools and technologies. Creating data driven innovative business solutions. And building automation, agility and nimbleness into our workflows. So we can pivot on a dime. Prepared to solve future challenges before they ever arise.

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.

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.
