Pros
I’ve been at Fidelity for a while. Just some points to be aware of. Pros: Good experience. Well supported out of the gate. Harder as you progress. Cons: Very political. Who you know environment. Compensation is marginal. Here’s the beta. Great place to start. Get your licenses and experience. At 5 years. Move on. The compensation is poor. Fidelity does not respect knowledge. The benes are good to a point. For student loans and growing families— good benes. Unfortunately most won’t be able to afford daycare. The 10% profit sharing is nice as well but again, most won’t be able to meet the IRS 401k limit so it really just fills the compensation gap. I’m just saying, choose wisely. 5 years then bounce. If I had it to do again. I would not. Don’t think you’ll get a merit increase that meets inflation or cost of living because you won’t. Christmas bonuses are only during strong economic years. You will be overworked and under appreciated. Choose wisely.
