[Text] We work differently here.

[Text] Kristian Frazier – Information Services

[Kristian] Get ready. The culture will shock you I mean seriously. It’s just that spirit of wanting to help each other get where you need to be.

[Text] Chris Koo – IS Project Management

[Chris] We all are aligned towards making the firm better together verses one person just trying to make a name for him or herself.

[Text] Lauren Woodman – Financial Advisor Training

[Lauren] The philosophy at Jones is really one of self-management, being autonomous to some extent in the work that you do day to day

[Text] Linda Bannister – Research – Equities

[Linda] No one is going to tell you exactly what to do. I think it allows for a lot of creativity and a lot of autonomy.

[Text] Collaboration not Competition

[Text] Andy Pusateri – Research – Equities

[Andy] I don’t feel like I have to compete with someone else in my department to improve. I can go to other members of my department to seek advice.

[Text] Chris Rodriguez – Fixed Income Trading

[Chris] They really value you as an individual and what you bring to the table.

[Text] Mary Pat Thompson – Operations

[Mary Pat] We try and work together to support each other really to do the best we can to support the client

[Text] Plan on Growing

[Andy] One of the things Edward Jones really does a great job at, is developing associates at all levels and promoting from within

[Chris] Most of my growth as a leader and also as a technical person came from the training here.

[Text] Miquez Hadley – Financial Advisor Development

[Miquez] Edward Jones did the best job of helping me discover what it is I didn’t want to do and what I wanted to do.

[Text] Michelle Lightbody – Travel and Event Management

[Michelle] They showed me opportunities to get involved in projects where I could draw on what I knew and then build on those skills.

[Text] Roger Ramchatesingh – Managed Investments

[Roger] And we’re encouraged to change roles and sometimes it feels like just when you’re getting good at something that a new opportunity comes along. I’ve never felt for a moment that I’ve been put in a box.

[Text] We Focus on Our Clients

[Text] Tyler Kucera – Municipal Trading

[Tyler] There are other opportunities to generate revenue and money however we choose to align all of our interests and all of our activities with what’s best for the client.

[Text] Ami Vyas – Talent Acquisition

[Ami] Everyday we have the opportunity to impact someone’s life. Positively.

[Miquez] It permeates throughout the firm and it just excites me every day to come in and contribute at the highest level possible.

[Text] The Advantage of Partnership

[Text] Alan Alderton – Talent Acquisition

[Alan] We’re potential owners of the firm and we get a chance to do things that you would do things that you would actually do If you owned the firm. So we make decisions based on, “is this a strong decision for the firm?”

[Text] Armida Martinez – Insurance Operations

[Armida] You care about the company more in that sense – you want to take care of it.

[Miquez] You share in the work, you share in the results and ultimately share in that success.

[Text] Committed to Our Community

[Text] Blake Moyer – Information Systems

[Blake] I really appreciate the social responsibility that Edward Jones has in the community and at large.

[Chris] I’ve got to work with different organizations in the community hands on with people that need help and you’re just humbled. When you know that there’s a firm that cares enough about individuals to lend that much support. Not only financially, but resource-wise and make us a part of it.

[Text] Principles you can get behind at a firm that will value you.

[Blake] It’s a great place to work if you want to be proud of the company you work for.

[Mary Pat] I like working for a firm whose values mirror mine. Who aren’t just here for the bottom dollar, they’re really here to do what’s right for the client.

[Kristian] Just having folks who believe in me and what I can do and what I can become has truly helped me get to where I am today.

[Miquez] We done a fantastic job of really helping individuals own their destiny. And if you very much value that, there’s no better place than Edward Jones to do it.
