Charles Schwab – “Schwab was one of the best places to work but what now?”

Pros

Work/life balance is probably one the best things about working at Schwab. Compensation and benefits were awesome in the early years of 2000's.... Overall, employee morale was really one of the things that kept people from leaving - the people that worked there were great!

Cons

Career advancement is difficult to achieve. Lay-offs were a never ending process for Schwab - the whole time I was there which was 8 years.
