Pros

-Good culture and teammates -Strong benefits (7% 401k match, 12 weeks paid parental leave, good health insurance, 10% profit sharing) -Work from home options

Cons

-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.

Pros

Benefits including profit sharing and bonuses are great. The breadth of this company provides a great opportunity to try out different career paths or boost your current one.

Cons

In my current role, I am working overtime more often than I'd like with recognition that seems to only go so far until it sizzles out. That may be tied to the size of the company itself, where promotions work in a "trickle down" manner.
