Why you want to work there
This St. Louis-based financial services firm, one of the largest operating partnerships in America, weathered the recent economic downturn without a single layoff. Possibly the sweetest reward at Edward Jones is its limited partnership opportunity. Nearly 5,000 employees became partners in 2011, and about 15,000 limited partners and 350 general partners now hold ownership shares in the company. Any employee with at least three years' tenure can earn a piece of the partnership pie.
