Featured Review
"Loves this company"Jan 19, 2019
I have been working at Morgan Stanley full-time for more than a year
Pros
Knowledgeable and respectful colleagues, exciting business, competitive compensation, learning supports, mobility program, generous RRSP matching programs and vacation package. Great place to work... and to learn about financial products.
Cons
Only cons I could think of is fast pace work environment which is pretty normal for this type of business. Promotion is slow.
Advice to Management
Keep up the great work culture and promote work life balance. More vacation days after 3 years would be great. Promote internal talent to keep top talent.
I worked at Edward Jones full-time for more than a year
Pros
Incredible training. Supportive network of advisors. You are given every opportunity to succeed with all the right tools. I was never turned away from another advisor when I needed help.
Cons
Perhaps more emphasis on sales training, and more exposure to the appointment process. Aside from that, I have nothing bad to say about the company. It is just a difficult industry to work in.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you are doing! Just make sure your new hires are given the opportunity to see first and second appointments, and not just annual review appointments. Maybe provide some additional... sales training as well.
