“I started in 2003 with a truly entry-level position. Over 17 years, I’ve been fortunate to grow, be stretched and take on more responsibilities – to now lead a team whose daily work directly impacts nearly 50,000 associates and 7 million clients. I started leading individual projects, expanding to department projects and divisional projects and, now, to enterprise-wide projects. Through my increasing project contributions, I gained the confidence and abilities to formally lead people. Edward Jones provided formal training, coaching and feedback along the way.”

The skills you’re gaining in your current role can help you succeed in your next.
Tech? HR? Marketing? Operations? One of the benefits of working at a large firm with many areas of expertise is that you can test the waters in other areas. Bring your transferable skills to a new role or division. Use your experience as a springboard to leadership. We encourage you to advance your career in this way — and will support you along the way.
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.”

Chris Koo
Firm Strategic Enablement Office
I started my career at Edward Jones 21 years ago as an entry-level programmer analyst in Technology. Over the years, with my hard work and thirst for knowledge along with the training and coaching from my colleagues, leaders and mentors, I have achieved the position of a team leader. With their continued support and guidance, I hope to progress on this upward path, to continue to learn and become a role model for the new generations of entry-level programmers coming to Edward Jones.

If I were to give internal candidates three pieces of advice, these three stick out to me the most: 1. Set up alerts to be notified when roles are posted; 2. Make sure you provide a detailed resume. Give yourself credit!; 3. Network and make connections in your own division and within different divisions.
Jordan Mica

When looking for opportunities, make sure you’re building your career intentionally. Don’t just go for the “next step”, make sure it aligns to your strengths, where you want to develop and your true purpose and passion for coming to work each day.

Associate Testimonial
I was transitioning away from a career I worked so hard for, but when I asked myself what mattered the most to me and the value of my work, it was the people I was helping. When I came across Edward Jones it was the perfect fit. I liked the idea of running my own business but not having to worry about the logistics of location, real estate, etc.

You don’t have to have a financial background. Some of us have sales backgrounds, but some of us were teachers or engineers. I think that as long as you’re willing to work hard and have the resiliency to get through building your business, you can be successful.
Jennifer Heal

The firm invests so much in the individual associates that want to grow. I like to call it a “human performance laboratory”.
