      A great place to start, but it can take a while to make a decent salary.

      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).

      Pros

      If you are starting out in the financial industry you can get your series 7, 63, and 66 within a year to a year and a half at Fidelity. You are constantly in training. I would stay at fidelity for at least the first 5 years moving from department to department learning as much as you possible can. Then if they do not compensate you the way you want...MOVE ON.

      Cons

      The competition. I work in a phone site where there are over 1,000 people, and everyone wants the same higher paying jobs. The last job interview I had within the department was against 100 other people fighting for a handful of jobs

      Good and bad areas to work; weak economy has adversely affected opportunities and satisfaction.

      Pros

      The benefit package has historically been very good, although financial pressures are causing cutbacks in that area. When times are good, there can be good opportunities for development and advancement - especially if you work in a business or site that is growing or you are willing to move around. There are a lot of dedicated and intelligent employees at all levels of the company in my experience there were generally opportunities to spread your involvement and contribution beyond your job description. It was a good first job, but if you get stuck in one place for very long consider bailing.

      Cons

      Like any large company, there are good places to work and bad ones; strong managers and weak ones; good teams and dysfunctional ones. If you are in the wrong place or under a poor manager, life can be ugly. In IT, morale has been pretty low over the past few years for a number of reasons and I wouldn't recommend that part of the business to a friend right now. IT got hit pretty hard in the last couple rounds of layoffs and frankly many were happier to be let go than to be among those left behind. In many areas the pressure and hours can be brutal.
