I invested $5000 five years ago in a tax annuity with Edward Jones. I would have been better off if I had paid taxes on the money and put it in a savings account. Now I have less than $2000 left and they sent me a bill every year. These guys are all about making a commission and nothing else. I invested $5000 five years ago in a tax annuity with...

Working at Edward jones the job itself is great. But home office & fairness to Boa's Office administrator is not at all good. If you loose your financial advisor your job will go. This business is geared to financial advisors. When it comes to clients while you have a financial advisor is there top priority but once a financial advisor goes your chop suey. How do...

I had a list of stocks I wanted to be placed in a portfolio- This guy made up a plan and presented it to me. I know EJ has preferred funds that they are in bed with and that they make high commissions on. This EJ guy slipped a couple of them in to my portfolio. Now this would not be bad if it wasn't for the fact that they were two times as much to purchase and under performed...

Mark at EJ convinced me to take my 401K and invest it with him. He placed it in a money market account. I asked him every month to please invest my money, citing that I was losing money every day that he refused to invest it. He kept telling me he was afraid to invest it. After 12 months, I finally told him if he didn't invest it, I was pulling it from him and that's when he invested it. He...

I tried Edward Jones thinking that they had resources to make better investment decisions. They don't. You get basic advice that any free investment site will provide and you pay a premium for it. Much better using Scottrade and doing your own research. Even guessing would have been better than the results that I had. I was advised to buy BAC, bank of america, right...

I was told by my broker that there would be a one time fee for investing our money. That was a lie. I asked my broker three consecutive times about the fees. I was lied to three times. I wanted my money put into south american companies. It was not done. I have lost faith in all banks. It seems that they get away with anything and...

Edward Jones is a terrible company. They consistently loose money on the accounts they manage, and worst of all - they are very unreliable and are making mistakes that could cost you a lot of money. After changing jobs I was *** enough to transfer 401k to Edward Jones, and I also opened Roth IRA account with them to add more money to the retirement fund....
