    I've had a great experience with Fidelity. My high school employer used Fidelity and my boss at the…read moretime helped me set up a little 401k. I was young and no clue how to navigate 401k or retirement accounts. I was lucky enough to get started at the age of 16. Sure it was not much what I was putting in but my employer was contributing dollar for dollar up to 5%. I left that company and never touched the money. Now that I have one foot in the grave I reached out to them to discuss my money. I was assigned a great gentleman named Richard. Yes, they charge a fee. But I don't mind as long as I'm making money. Richard was very patient and took the time to answer all my questions. I ended up adding a little more money to my account and I've seen a good return I believe it's right around 10%. I have not been into the actual location but I have turned my family over to Fidelity. Prior to Fidelity I reached out to Fisher investments and they turned me down because I had "too little money". Fidelity has never made me feel bad about how much or how little I'm able to add to my portfolio. Additionally they offer a regular account with a much higher interest rate than your regular bank. Check them out! Especially if you can get Richard!!! Tell him you saw my review on Yelp. Good luck! Hope this helps!

    This branch is a nightmare, having working with fidelity for over 15 years I have never encountered…read morestaff that act this way, it could be management or just this branch in general but at this location we were paired up with Michaela who we asked to help us with multiple transactions. Our issues began whens She failed to keep our room private and would walk out in the middle of a private conversation with wealth management and leave the door open. When asking her about specific questions about trading in the app and other financial advice She was unable to answer basic questions about certain accounts, couldn't figure out how to help us navigate the app, and rather than go and ask another staff member for assistance she would just tell us to do it ourselves. (What is the point of coming to the branch if we can't have you assist us and having us do all the transactions ourselves?) while these were somewhat small issues, it made communication with her incredibly difficult because we were aware that she wasn't as knowledgeable as she needed to be and that isn't fair to us) Half way through the appointment I asked the front desk for a supervisor number so I could call and speak to them, twenty minutes later we finish our meeting and I return to the desk and there isno number, we wait in the lobby and while we are standing there, Michaela comes out of her desk and in front of every client in the main lobby asked loudly "if I had a problem with her". The Front desk failed to de-escalate their staff member and when I asked for a number they kept saying wait, I then asked one more staff member for a simple number to speak with someone privately and while I kept being told I would receive the number, it never came. Do not work with Michaela from this branch, she is confrontational, unqualified for her position and doesn't respect Client's privacy.

    A great idea going to waste…read more I have been a client of Charles Schwab for over 50 years. In that time, I've been elevated to at least the first of their "Preferred Customer" tiers. So, I trade, pretty much every day. But there is one incredibly annoying aspect of Schwab that very well may push me to transfer my account. At the bottom of each account, there is a line item titled, "Cash & Cash Investments." This line is meaningless and could be easily replaced by two lines: "Year-to-Date Profits" and "Cash Immediately Available to Invest." I have, for more than a year, almost on a monthly basis, complained, because the confusion generated by "Cash & Cash Investments," leads me to believe I can buy stocks WITHOUT INCURRING MARGIN EXPENSE. Oh, I HAVE the money - in my interest bearing Schwab Money Market Account, but I need 24 hours to liquidate that into "Cash Immediately Available to Invest." And if I forget to do this, every day Schwab charges me an annoying interest fee. So much for client dissatisfaction. What about Schwab IGNORRING a profitable promotional tool. If, for instance, I see a stock I want to buy in a hurry, and I go to my account and see I have $46,000 cash immediately ready to invest, then I'd be much more likely to invest, than worry about a margin call and waiting until I can debug the meaningless line that has a totally erroneous and/or irrelevant amounts. And yet, for months, I have not been able to get anyone at Schwab to do something. Their "Priority Level" phone agents continually take notes on my complaint (they can actually read them back to me), but they cannot (or will not) give me an email or name of a person who can evaluate this suggestion. It's a dead-end. It's like you go to your banker and tell him he's got a bucket of cash behind his desk, and he's too lazy to go look for it. It's like McDonalds has a new product, that's cheaper and more profitable than a Big Mac, and they just don't bother to offer it. It's pure, arrogant, ignorant stupidity from a company I've trusted for 50 years, and maybe it's time to find another vendor! Hey, Fisher, hey Vanguard, hey Fidelity! I'm out here. Win me over. Maybe, I'm ready to walk. How about you?
