They sure bug the shit out of me with cold calls lol
Hello! I was hired as a career changer/brand new FA through Edward Jones. If this is your case, yes, likely you will receive a base salary (different for everyone) and a small commission. Overtime, your salary goes down, but the commission goes up as you build your business.
To be honest, it didn't work out for me. Being new to the field, I didn't realize how much sales it was- which isn't strength of mine. If you have a large network or have sales experience, you'd likely have at least a slightly easier time building your business. I've met some people who thrived (and some who just got lucky), and some who really struggled.
