Edward Jones shares 24% of net profits annually — $229 million in 2018 — with associates employed six months or more and who work at least 20 hours a week.
Secret sauce: “Our employees own the firm,” says Kelli Poremba, growth/recruiting leader for the Dallas region.
Employees say: “Everything begins and ends with doing what is right for our clients. I have never been in any Edward Jones meeting where I would feel uncomfortable with a client sitting next to me.”
“I have all the support to do my job well yet all the freedom to be creative and excel at it. It feels like a family, not a big company, and yet it has all processes in place to navigate this highly regulated industry smoothly.
