Edward Jones Financial Advisors Rate the Firm Highest in Overall Employee Satisfaction, According to J.D. Power and Associates
For the sixth time in as many studies conducted, Edward Jones financial advisors rate the firm “Highest in Employee Advisor Satisfaction among Financial Investment Firms,” according to a newly released study by J.D. Power and Associates.
The J.D. Power and Associates 2014 Financial Advisor Satisfaction Study ranked 11 financial services firms.
Edward Jones financial advisors gave the highest satisfaction ratings in all of the study categories, with a score of 904 out of 1,000. This compares to the industry average of 721.
Financial advisors also scored the firm's operational, technical and client-facing support extremely high.
"Although this survey measured quantifiable key drivers of satisfaction, such as compensation, communication and technology, I'm convinced that at Edward Jones, the intangibles are equally important," said Edward Jones Managing Partner Jim Weddle. "Our gratification comes from knowing we make a significant difference to our clients and our communities.
"As a partnership, we maintain a clear focus on our clients and support our branch teams in a culture of collaboration that makes a very real difference."
