Fidelity Investments reviews

I feel great everyday that I am no longer employed at Fidelity. I have never worked for a firm that moved employees to a position that they have never applied for nor expressed a general interest in. Supervisors change all the time. After nearly 2 years I had 7 managers......not much reliability or consistency in training. I also did not see many women on the trading desks. It was very sad to see a company with a female CEO be so lacking in representation. Working with the Boston FI team was insane. The egos. At first working at Fidelity was wonderful. Benefits were amazing but when Fidelity came to the realization that management over hired? It was downhill from there. The process made me hate my job and how we were treated was awful. Managent are robots. Intentional. We know it works. Tell me more. If I hear these word salads again in my lifetime? I will be physically ill. The day I left and turned off my laptop? I never looked back again.

-Between the change from hourly to salary 6 months ago and the absence of any additional bonuses that we used to get (holiday, tax season, retention), I make less money in my third year with the company than I ever did before. -When I was hired, I was sold a story of how quickly you can advance through the ranks of the Planning and Advice team, but they've all but stopped creating new positions to advance to -Metrics for how they measure performance on the sales side is bogus. Basically all sources of "sales credit" are self-reported by each rep and everyone (including managers) has their own interpretations of the policies, so the system rewards misrepresenting how you handle client conversations. -Fidelity laid off 700 people and I had to find out through the news, not through any kind of internal acknowledgment. They still haven't said anything to us internally.
