Scottrade Reviews
-
Pros
Flexible work hours
Ability to do homework while at work
Starting Pay: $10.00/hour
Opportunities for raises every 6 months ($0.50 increments)
Good job securityCons
If you are a hardcore finance major you don't get to use your skills
Compliance is overbearing and limits client interactions
No benefits
Compensation low compared to competitors for college graduates
Bonuses decreasingAdvice to Senior Management
While I think Scottrade is a great company my recommendation is critical. Slow your expansion.. Scottrade is growing so quickly it is becoming cumbersome and most importantly its cashflow is not growing proportionally to the growth of the company. This translates to slower pay growth for the full-time employees and degenerating bonuses.
