I have been working at Fidelity Investments full-time

ProsGood retirement plan. Lots of growth opportunities. Good overtime opportunities. Company tries to help work/life balance. Gives excellent training. Good facilities.

ConsDealing with customers. The company is so large that it is hard to have consistency. Mediocre coworkers can coast along. It takes a while to be accepted into the group.

Advice to Senior ManagementWork on different departments working together instead of against each other.

not a bad place if you know how to play the game

Regional Investment Consultant (Former Employee)
Westlake, TX

I worked at Fidelity Investments full-time for more than 3 years

Proswork/life balance
fair pay for the work
professional environment
talented people

Conslacked ability to provide most employees with some type of career advancement plan
senior management, for the most part, was unnaproachable and did not try to relate to what was going on in the front lines
management would often times be unclear on what was more important, sales results or activity

Advice to Senior Managementgive more credence to the institutional side. it should be equallly as important as direct/retail.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

A career in which I am happy to be in

Associate Systems Analyst (Current Employee)
Durham, NC

I have been working at Fidelity Investments full-time for less than a year

ProsA company who cares about its employees as much as it cares about its customers. We all support one another and asking for help is not frowned upon what so ever.

ConsI can not really complain about this job/company. I do not even see why having a "con" is required. This should be changed and made optional.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
