A lot of folks on here seemingly like to criticize the company at times on various things (even though you'll never agree 100% with everything a company does no matter where you work unless you work for yourself). Truth be told I started in this company almost four years ago, my first job right out of school. I wasn't like some millennials born with a silver spoon, I walked through the front doors to this company with NOTHING to my name except parents who were home sick with $50K between college loans and debt, a bank account with about $200 in it. Basically the lowest point anyone can be financially. All I had was a strong drive eager to succeed and make something of myself so I can one day live an easier life and start my own family. I started from the very bottom here with nothing in a low end position, some of you know this is never a fun position to be in. I've worked very hard these past few years to prove my worth to this firm and my manager, I changed managers twice but luckily have been fortunate enough to now be with a manager who values my contributions to the firm. I worked my way up from the very bottom to get to where I am today, as of this past review cycle thanks to Fidelity, have had the pleasure of being able to officially DOUBLE my salary since I started here in 2018. I still have further goals I am working towards that I hope to obtain within the next few years, and I hope to continue to be fortunate enough to continue growing at this firm. Truth be told, if you work here and you have a good manager the sky is the limit at this firm as long as you stay focused and sharp. If you aren't happy with your manager or your position keep an eye out internally for positions because they can be a game changer. If you don't show up to work focused, and at least somewhat enjoy what you do on a daily basis it's your own fault and no one is forcing you to be here, in this market there are lots of positions available. The only people holding some folks back are themselves.
Just my one cent. Life is what YOU make it. I am thankful I found Fidelity or else I'd be no where. Merry Christmas everyone!
