Pros

The only good thing that I can say about the company is that I got paid on time. They seem to know that any gaps in pay would probably push enough people over the breaking point that they'd quit immediately.

Cons

Working at fidelity was the single most dehumanizing and pathetic experience of my entire life. The military treated me less like a number. McDonald's treated me less like a number. I would rather be in prison because the guards there are trained to treat you with dignity, unlike fidelity managers. When I began working at Fidelity we were promised 3 days a month on site and the rest of the month WFH. 2 years later I quit because it was 2 weeks a month on site, with a goal of moving to fully on site within a year or two. Had they advertised that during the interview process I wouldn't have taken the job. If you have the misfortune of being hired in a phone role, know that you will have back to back calls for 8 hours a day. As soon as you hang up one call, you'll be talking to someone else within a millisecond of you pressing the button. Your managers will watch you like hawks and if you dare to take a 3 minute bathroom break, you will be called out for it. You're basically just there to be a punching bag for all of the people that the company has screwed over through miscommunication or lack of communication. Most of my day was spent dealing with frustrated customers who received incorrect information from other representatives and then being told my management that we either couldn't, or weren't willing to expedite any solutions to their problems. Promotions exist and the company hires internally, which sounds awesome until you realize it'll be 200 internal applicants for 3-5 positions when they do appear because everyone's so desperate to get off of the phones. Managers don't want to lose their best call center workers either because their bonus is tied to your stats. So if you're an overachiever, you're not going anywhere.

Pros

The company has one of the best benefit packages on the market but the cons majorly outweigh the cons

Cons

The company has taken a massive step backwards with it WFH policy and have made it very clear that If you are not interested in engaging that you are putting your career at a major disadvantage e.g prior the the last all staff there were awards given and all award were for return to office engagement. Their profoundly out of touch with employees e.g will bang a drum about woman in technology but implament a backwards work from home policy which will impact woman in the workplace directly. They then try to lecture the employee about how to work in the office space without impacting others yet these are all problems that THE COMPANY created. This company WILL lie to you.

Pros

Very clear on corporate culture. Updates from superiors (CEO, etc.) multiple times a week. Will pay for your licensing if you’re in a licensed role. Pretty easy to get vacation days approved.

Cons

This is not a job for someone who can’t sit in the same chair, staring at the same computer screen for 8+ hours. Working from home is miserable, but working in the office requires either weekly testing and tracking or the vaccine. I’ve never felt so lonely at a company, even though this is the biggest company I’ve ever worked for. I barely even know my manager’s first name, that’s how disconnected everyone is. I only lasted one month after I finished training because the job isn’t rewarding in the slightest. Be prepared to get yelled at or called incompetent at least 5 times a day. Don’t expect more than minimal support from any supervisor. This position should pay much more than it actually does. During onboarding, they make it seem like you can move around as much as you want, as quickly as you want, and your manager will help you advance however they can, but that’s a joke. By the end of my shift, I’m exhausted and can’t even build up the motivation to make dinner. EVERYTHING is scheduled. You get two 15 minute breaks - one in the morning and one in the afternoon - and a 30 minute lunch, but you may not be eating lunch until hours after any normal lunch time should be scheduled. And you don’t get a say on that either.
