Pros

Overall, very solid company with great benefits, opportunities for promotion. Fidelity has multiple locations so there is potential to move around. You can get in contact with the top easier than you'd think for a large corporation. The old saying was you never get rich while at Fidelity, but because you worked there you will be rich. I think this is true because of the incentive programs between annual bonus opportunities which can be a substantial amount of your income, phantom share program that pay out every two years and their profit sharing that was their year in and out.

Cons

I thought that Fidelity got a little too big and struggled to find out how to structure itself to succeed. It seemed like we would go through 3-4 organizational alignments each year. It's not that it's bad, but they never seem to be able to stay the course with their decisions. It really depended upon who was leading the charge. Current senior management is more about the bottom line as oppose to prior leadership. Prior leadership still looked at growth opportunities and current leadership wants to maintain and not necessary grow the business unless it is an EXACT fit or match.

Pros

Great place to learn about the financial markets and great benefits. Tons of customers to work with, don't have to worry about building your own book of clients.

Cons

Not a lot of variety in most of the roles at Fidelity. Need to try hard to make the phone jobs exciting. Too many campaigns and changing goals in the sales roles. Tiered approach to bonuses, someone is always at the bottom, no matter what. Not necessarily paid for what you do (but that's the rules of a salary plus bonus structure).
