Pros

Hard work? Yes. Isn't that what it's all about? I have been at Fisher for 7 years now, and due to my hard work, effort and diligence, I have been promoted twice (once to a completely different dept) and enjoy an excellent salary and benefits (I started as a graduate at the ground level). I am married with 3 kids under the age of 10 and manage to strike a good work/life balance. It hasn't been easy I admit, but the rewards are definitely attainable. Some reviewers on here seem workshy? If that's the case, then Fisher Investments is not for you. If you don't mind rolling your sleeves up and going the extra mile, you will certainly achieve career progression. Simple as that. I'm living proof, as are many of my colleagues. Rates of pay are above the industry average. Sure, staff earn more on the east coast at the likes of Goldmans and JPM, but hey, we are on the west coast. Go figure. It's impossible for 100% of staff to be 100% happy...but hey, if you're THAT disillusioned, please

Cons

Parking is an issue that needs attention...and fast. I understand why some staff are getting peeved

Pros

If you work hard, you'll get lots of responsibility early in your career and you can climb incredibly fast. Practically nothing used to be unachievable during the hey-day.

Cons

Only downside is that when you get to a certain level, associations and "who you know and hang out with" seem to matter more for purposes of promotions than skill, experience, and employment record.
