      Pros

      Computer equipment purchase program. Discount on healthy eating options. Wellness center on campus. 10% profit sharing. On campus fitness center(family members are not allowed)

      Cons

      . 15% lower salary then industry average. . No work life balance. . You need to have a very good relationship with middle management to get good bonus and hike. . Lay offs are very frequent, recently they laid off many due to bad planning of the management. Incompetent upper management with no visibility for future (not even for 3 months). . Unnecessary works imposed on you to impress superiors of your boss. . No training , no support to do your work. . They manipulate teams at will without any transition plans. . Hard work and success is never acknowledge or celebrated. . No fun activities or team building activities. . Many a time no place to sit, untill recently (after they fired many people). . Very mechanical work environment. . Only one boring party in entire year on Christmas that to you are not allowed if your are a contractor and families are not allowed.

      Pros

      - if you like to be treated like your 12 this call center is for you - if you like to work in a cheap office surrounded by homeless people this is the place for you - if you like to have to time out when you go to the bathroom this is the place for you Every second of your day is supervised. You will more than likely have a 10 hour shift where you will spend 9 hours and 15 minutes of it on the phone and if you don't you will get in trouble and receive "verbal warnings" that turn into "written warnings" . You receive two 15 minute and one 10 minute break (to go potty) You have to time out during your one hour non paid timed lunch break. Now factor in every person calling in extremely mad because there is an issue with the website and they had to literally wait 45 minutes to get to you so they take their anger out on you. It is not even sure if it's the Walmart of the financial industry. If you never want to make 6 figures in your life this is the place for you - well you might make LOW figures if you spend literally your entire life there sucking up to some of the strangest people you will ever encounter which in return will suck the life out of you.

      Cons

      This is 100% call center. Nothing in the financial industry to do with this job - You do get your series 7 and 63 so that you can do the most exciting thing with your job and take orders from customers. Don't screw up or you'll get a boo boo aka trade error. #verbal warning Its filled with people either making a mid life career change and they are so excited about a 401k and insurance (because they were going nowhere in their life) or you come straight out of college and if the person is halfway normal they are gone in less than two years. The managers are some of the biggest jokes I have ever experienced in my life. If you think women don't have an equal opportunity please go to Fidelity Salt Lake City. Women are promoted and have higher jobs for the sole fact they are women. My manager would call me homeslice, homeboy, homies, holmes, homes, gangsta, etc She was so out of touch with the team it was truly remarkable. Unfortunately though that seemed to be the common theme.

      THEY DO NOT PROMOTE FROM WITHIN

      Pros

      Benefits are satisfactory, pay could be more inline with the industry, vacation policy is ok but has not been updated for over 20 years.

      Cons

      Massive attempt to eliminate older employees in the branch system, will not promote (especially if you are a woman) unless you are young and are a member of the so called "boys club". If you are a young male you will be supported and promoted by management. Managers will lie to HR to support this movement. Fidelity is on the wrong track, this has not always been true, however, seems to be the direction they are taking in 2015. It boggles ones mind that a company the size of Fidelity would not find the best talent in the industry, instead of promoting mediocre sales people to manage branches, most of whom do not know the first thing about how to treat employees. I was one of those employees that worked harder than anyone else and was still treated badly, and after all the years I devoted to this company you still pushed me out. Shame on you Fidelity.
