Charles Schwab Employee Review

Current Employee – been working at Charles Schwab full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Competitive salaries in my field. Coworkers are nice people who care about their work and our clients. Cream rises to the top in a way that seems fair from my perspective (as someone who is in a fairly limited role in terms of mobility, by choice). Sabbatical every 5 years is the best benefit ever. You get out of the company as much as or as little as you give.

Cons – I understand call center jobs can be frustrating but I'm on the technology side. Things can move slowly due to the size of the company, regulatory requirements, and so forth. The acquisitions process is nightmarish, so if you need things that the rest of the herd doesn't in order to do your job, get ready for red tape.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep pushing the client focus message. Since we're all clients ourselves, it's pretty motivating.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
