TD Ameritrade Reviews

Former Employee – worked at TD Ameritrade full-time for more than a year

Pros – They pay for you to get your license, USED to be a good place to work, decent pay if you work your butt off (and I mean close to a thousand hours of OT and hit the top performance awards)

Cons – Treat people fairly- they like to pick favorites, There is no such thing as a "promotion" every job besides sales is a lateral move and if you start on any shift other than 1st you will be getting a pay decrease when you move. They have introduced LEAN in the last year, though do not know how to operate with it, they have made alot of the employees mad and lost alot of people

Advice to Senior Management – Be there... It would be nice if you could ever find a manager when you needed one. Quit asking for more, and taking away the tools to get more. Also if your going to preach your values, live by them.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
