Has anyone at Edward Jones taken on a second job just to make ends meet?

After eight years with the company, consistently good performance reviews, and earning my Series 7, I never expected to be living paycheck to paycheck. But with the pay scale failing to keep up with the rising cost of living, I have reached the point where I am putting my electric bill on a credit card.

I am seriously considering taking on a second job, and I am wondering how many other employees are already doing the same. What kind of side work have you found that fits around your Edward Jones schedule? Has management raised any concerns about outside employment?

It is frustrating to have the licenses, experience, and positive reviews, yet still struggle to cover basic household expenses. At what point does the company acknowledge that the current pay structure is not sustainable?


Overtime hours

I recently joined Intel , first off during pay negotiation the HR said the pay range in the job description is a typo and their internal system is showing a much smaller pay range. Is this ethical ?

Secondly, Within the first month I am putting in several afterhours late nights to meet with Asia folks. This was not mentioned in the job description or interview. Is this ethical ? What would happen if I refuse late night hours.


Wausau/Menominie/Cumberland - Culture?

Hello, how is the culture at these locations? How does pay compare for the local cost of living? Any of these sites union? Have seen fairly frequent job postings both internal and external the last few years with positions I could qualify for. Would like some insight to these locations if possible, thank you


Verizon pay cuts?

As we all know, the job market su-ks. If Verizon's objective is to get rid of the high paid workers, at some point will they just ask us to take a pay cut to keep our jobs. I know this will be an unpopular post, but its better to pay my bills at a lower salary than to get laid off and get nothing. Would you take say a 15% paycut?


NO TRANSPARENCY!

This coming transition has been nothing but terrible communication like normal. They tell you to ask questions, but when you do no one will answer. For people taking on an RTM position, they were not informed of what the pay will be prior to accepting, how many stores are on the routes, how many merchandisers they will be managing, etc. Did they tell everyone they expect you to be on call on the weekends if you can't find coverage? Did they tell you they want you to do more merchandising if the low labor budget can't cover the amount of deliveries you have and you run hot? Always lacking the information needed to make a good decision.


MOW

So how is it being a MOW now with the whole new rtm transition. Is it easier ? More responsibilities ? Pay increase ? Bonuses ? They haven’t talked about none of this on our region they just said we are no longer FTOW. Now we are MOW


How is perm position lower pay than contractor role

I’ve been working in my position as a contractor for several months and was finally offered a permanent position with UHG. However, the offer pay is lower than the start pay I received at the beginning of my contract. Like drastically lower to the point I don’t want to accept the permanent position at all. Trying to figure out my options but this is frustrating.

I wish people would stop hating on Exxon so much

Is it ideal? No. Is it better than a lot of places right now? Yes. If you've taken half an hour of your day to brows available jobs, you'd know how cr-ppy the job market is right now. Having a relatively safe job with a decent pay at this moment is more than many others have. As I said, this place is far from perfect, but let's get some perspective.


What’s going on in Permian drilling?

Outsider looking in, little odd they’ve had a posting for a position, it disappeared and then less than a week later another is posted. Context being always rumors of a less than stable group over there and some toxic management… had considered applying, but now I’m curious about morale. Anyone know how pay is? Low relative to midland based peers, but still passable?Thoughts?


Attrition

Lots of major names have left the company, and people continue to leave. Probably a combination of the upper management culture (nepotism much…), LT mindset around optimizing and running as lean as possible, and the profit sharing changes which apparently we claimed “entitlement” to and did not work for. And really bad base pay relative to general industry. What do you think?


I have never worked so hard for so little reward

The least they can do is make the last few standing feel appreciated for keeping the fort held down. They lay people off, they don’t replace. People retire, they don’t replace. Someone on disability? Oh well pick up the slack or you’re next. As I’m working harder and harder I’m thinking to myself how long can this keep going? I mean my paycheck is getting eating by inflation yet I’m working 3x as hard for the same pay while my supervisor takes care of his personal errands during work hours. God only knows what the AD is doing. Never in my life have I been so disappointed by a company. Will we lose all of our employees or our customers first? Only time will tell.
