May 2022 • Merrimack, NH

What I liked

I loved being put in a licensing program where I felt people definitely had my best interest. Motivating and being there to help support me during a really intense time studying for my series licenses I don’t think I would have been able to go through it without their constant support and reassurance.

What I wish was different

Nothing, I honestly just wish I could have started sooner!

Advice

It’s a really hard and long process and there was a lot of excitement and a lot of stress but once you get through it and stay confident with your self it’s extremely rewarding.

Customer Relationship Advocate

May 2021 • Jacksonville, FL

What I liked

I loved and currently love how attentive, diligent, and ambitious the culture at Fidelity truly is. Everyone, from Regional Managers, to Sales, to my co-workers, and my supervisors, is so kind and transparent about wanting you to succeed and/or move up in the company. I especially enjoyed how not toxic and professional everyone was. Being that it is a private company, it takes away a lot of stress from the bottom line to just "make money." Fidelity truly wants what is best for not only its customers, but its employees as well! Also, can't complain with some of the best benefits in the industry.

What I wish was different

I wish I had heard about this job earlier and that I could have prepared better for it. Specifically about the experience working there, I have no complaints or regrets whatsoever.

Advice

If you are in college or simply someone without much financial experience, I definitely recommend taking a few classes or simply doing personal research about financial products, language, legal information, etc. I say this because not only will it make your life easier, but you will truly slip right into the company with ease if you have a well-versed knowledge of the financial world. That being said, you definitely do not need to be an expert in finance by any means!

Customer Service Representative Intern

June - August 2021 • Salt Lake City, UT

What I liked

I liked how nice everyone was and how willing they were to help out the interns. I also enjoyed that we weren't just given busy work and were able to work on different projects that would help benefit the company.

What I wish was different

I wish they had more job opportunities at the SLC branch. The only entry-level job they had was a customer service rep and I was just not interested in that or the possible positions following it at all. The only reason I wasn't asked to come back was because I made it abundantly clear to my manager that I wouldn't be interested.

Advice

Make sure you're prepared to be bombarded with financial information in a short amount of time and be aware that this is a customer service job, meaning you'll be doing phone calls for a good chunk of your day after training's over. You do, however, get to work on a project, so I would also recommend taking it seriously because the higher-ups will take your advice into consideration.
