Benefits

Edward Jones offers a full slate of benefits: free wellness care plus premium discounts if you take health screenings, get good results or document healthy activities; vision and dental plans; adoption assistance up to $5,000 per child; domestic partner benefits; $5,000 in annual tuition reimbursement; annual profit sharing; and 401(k) and Roth accounts with firm matching. We self-fund medical care so we can override provider decisions, order coverage or pay for expensive treatments. We offer paid parental leave for full-timers: 16 weeks for primary caregivers, two for secondary. Branch associates enjoy flexibility, including compressed workweek options, telecommuting, job sharing, voluntary unpaid leave and sick leave to care for ill family members. In 2017, associates were eligible for top-level trimester bonuses due to solid firm performance. All associates are eligible to become limited partners and share in firm profits. Nearly 40 percent of all associates are now limited partners.
