Financial Advisor at Fidelity Investments
in Jacksonville, FL

What don't you like about working at Fidelity Investments?

"They treat you as a number, not a person, not caring what you have personally or want. They add responsibility after responsibility without any increase in pay and they don't promote based on performance but on sucking up. Also, they micro manage even the best employees and don't listen to ideas or suggestions to help customers and the workplace itself."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Increase pay equal to what other similar firms are paying. Listen to your employees and if someone is a great employee, promote them or at least show some appreciation. Also, the advice they give is neither timely nor useful, they treat their customers as numbers, not individuals, and they push products based solely on profit even if it is the wrong product. I know this is a business but at least try to help people who are trusting you with their life savings."
