THEY DO NOT PROMOTE FROM WITHIN - Anonymous employee Fidelity Investments Employee Review

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

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.
