THEY DO NOT PROMOTE FROM WITHIN

Pros

Benefits are satisfactory, pay could be more inline with the industry, vacation policy is ok but has not been updated for over 20 years.

Cons

Massive attempt to eliminate older employees in the branch system, will not promote (especially if you are a woman) unless you are young and are a member of the so called "boys club". If you are a young male you will be supported and promoted by management. Managers will lie to HR to support this movement. Fidelity is on the wrong track, this has not always been true, however, seems to be the direction they are taking in 2015. It boggles ones mind that a company the size of Fidelity would not find the best talent in the industry, instead of promoting mediocre sales people to manage branches, most of whom do not know the first thing about how to treat employees. I was one of those employees that worked harder than anyone else and was still treated badly, and after all the years I devoted to this company you still pushed me out. Shame on you Fidelity.

Pros

My immediate team is great. I'm able to work on exciting work where I have an impact. My direct manager is awesome. I have had plenty of opportunities to grow and develop in my career. Once every 2 weeks, we get a Learning Day. It's my favorite benefit.

Cons

The upper management went off the rails during Covid. They used to treat you like an adult and trust you to get the job done. Now they have gone full force back into 20th century command-and-control mode and micromanagement with 21st century technology. It's increasingly dystopian. I could see it coming and warned about it in previous reviews, but upper management, especially HR, is going to destroy this company. It deeply hurts me to write this. I have spent almost 2 decades here. Fidelity used to be a "we"; now it is a "they". I can't recommend this as a place to work because I don't know what the next random misguided HR policy will be, and I don't want that on my conscience.

Pros

Bonus 7% match after the initial year, though it 100% vests after 4 or 5 years Hybrid work

Cons

A push for 2 specific weeks in office a month without the support or clarity of the requirement. - Employees do not know how attendance is tied to compensation - Rumors come out after the fact about how PTO effect in office week "count" - One office recently ran out of parking, seating, and food for the new 2 week mandatory request - and somehow people are still trying to go into that office If feels like this organization wants people to quit and is making it miserable for everyone in the mean time.
