Pros

Great company with lots of opportunity for advancement and career changes with god benefits, and good pay. I worked at the company for over 10 years and learned a lot about retail and B2B investments. Have a few FINRA licenses (24,65, 63, 7, 31, and Insurance) and was working towards my CFP that was supported and sponsored. There are also lots of internal and OTJ trainings. Plenty of great people and some pretty awesome financial industry leaders. It's a privately owned company so if they want to pursue something they don't have to get the stock holder's buy in and they allow the employees to provide input on a lot of the process and employee engagement improvements that are currently in place. Overall it's a very dynamic culture constantly changing.

Cons

Super lager company so you could feel like just another worker and that your voice doesn't count. At times the hiring process when moving between roles can be a bit monotonous (in that it's a hurry up to wait months situation). Overall it's a very dynamic culture and constantly changing so if change is not what you like this probably isn't for you.

Pros

There's a roof on the building, so you don't get wet when it rains. The knives in the cafeteria are not sharp enough to slit your wrist if you feel the urge.

Cons

It's culture of lip service, where you're not exactly telling lies but close to it. The pay is horrible. I was paid $20,000 under the industry average. It's a political game from Day One. If you want to get anywhere, you'll need to invest in a set of knee pads.

Pros

They will pay ~180 to your student loans each month Most lower level managers I’ve encountered are very nice and accommodating Nice co workers

Cons

Literally everything else. For the last two years upper management has done everything they can to make working here miserable. We are constantly being micromanaged by “OPS”. The elusive back office who keeps track of schedule adherence. Not to mention they change the metrics you should hit just about every other week. Speaking of schedules, they are in the process of changing most, if not ALL, phone roles from hourly with OT to salaried, and no longer qualifying for OT pay. To make up for it they’re giving a <2% pay raise that amounts to being a pay decrease for pretty much everyone considering these are phone roles and we have little control on how long those calls last. Oh you stayed an hour late cause a client doesn’t know how to work a computer? And you want to be paid for it?? Well that’s too bad, didn’t you know our billionaire CEO has bills to pay??? On top of this they have announced we will all be going into the office 2 weeks per month now, up from 1 week per month, starting in September. After a pay decrease! Yippee! Fidelitys base pay is pathetic. Raises have not kept up with inflation for the last 2 years and are not based on performance. Yes you read that correctly. Pay raises are not based on performance. Not anymore. They say to make up for this we have quarterly bonuses. But those bonuses are HEAVILY influenced by the positive customer surveys of your department, not you. There is little incentive to do your job well, and trust me, people don’t!
