Good Morning,

I'm looking at transitioning into Financial Advising with Edward Jones, wanted to know if anyone can provide some REAL insight on what I may be getting into with the Financial Advisor role? Thank you and any feedback would be helpful. Also if there are any persons that can provide a referral I would greatly appreciate it.

Doorknocking. Heavy sales. Growth potential is good but not as good as a RIA. Also training can be hit or miss. Your support is based on your region, again hit or miss.

I started my career at Jones. Expect a lot of door knocking, cold calling, selling to family and friends. At least that was my experience.

It seems that the new hiring process is that you will either be a legacy )working in an experienced advisors office and receiving a bunch of accounts to start working with, or possibly a Goodknight program where you receive 5 mm in assets to get you off and running. You are responsible for making contacts to grow your business. Do not think you can just sit back and get by with the original accounts you receive

CFP study programs:

Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?
