Pros

The office is pretty nice

Cons

Other people get credit for your work, there is a high level of favoritism which leads to you missing out on opportunities and getting in trouble for things that the favorites do not. Your voice is not heard, you will work incredibly hard but not get credit, and be told you are not putting in the work. Management also does not believe you when you say things nor provide support when you have issues if you are not a favorite or someone that reports all activity. There is a lot of throwing people under the bus and micromanaging to move up in the company, which makes the trust in a team non existent and gives you constant feeling of job insecurity. You will work on projects but get removed and lose all credit. Not a healthy environment. If you would like to move up in the company they have a grade level system. You may have the experience, but if it is a higher grade level than your current one, there is a high chance you will not be given the opportunity to even interview, as they look at the grade level 1st thing. The benefits are not that great, they are average. Many people will say they are incredible, but it is people who have only ever worked at Fidelity, so they don't know that better benefits packages do exist. The salary here is also awful regardless of how much experience you have. They basically say that the salary is good because you get to work for Fidelity. If you look at the average salary for your experience, national salary, local salary, the location, ertc, then bring to the table, they will still say no.

Cons

My career was going well but unfortunately it took a sharp turn. Company motto "Turn here" did not really work well for me. I had bullies on my team including my senior manager who was plain incompetent. I had to leave because every day there became a terror. Mobbing and bullying would not stop after talking to my immediate manager. HR did not care when I reported unethical conduct. They told me I needed a good sense of humor. However, you will agree that being called jerk and hearing jokes about your nationality every day is not fun.

Pros

Benefits are good and building is nice.

Cons

Position consists of taking relentless inbound calls. There is no time in between calls and you’re pretty much hooked up to the computer all day. The metrics they want you to meet are almost impossible to follow so employees purposefully transfer calls to keep metrics low. My Manager criticized my calls so much at one point I realized there was nothing I could do to make him happy. Mistakes are to easy to make even if you are laser focused all day. I found a new position and was walked out after putting in my two week notice. They are paying me but i was unable to say goodbye to anyone so it looked like I was terminated after being walked out by my manager which wasn’t the case. Employees complained of being burned out constantly and management does nothing. It’s sad cause the employees are wonderful people who deserve at least 5 seconds between calls to stretch or take a sip of water but upper management doesn’t notice at all. I couldn’t take it anymore
