TD Ameritrade Reviews

Pros

The bonuses were dependent on your production so you could walk out of there with 70-80k of additional pay Work life balance is GREAT. Why? Because the work you do is remedial you can clock at exactly 5:00pm everyday with no stress or worry.

Cons

Everything else. - The place is a joke -Management is awful across all boards - Going through acquisition so the talent sourcing has been a joke If you are looking for an actual respected career in the industry you’d go anywhere else but here. Complete joke of a company. It’s Robinhood with a suit on in short. “Clients” more like customers aren’t going to TD for any wealth management or actual financial advice if only management understood that. You will not be an advisor in any extent, your a licensed customer service representative disguised as a “consultant”. ZERO upward mobility. It’s comical actually, you are either an FC, SFC or manager and all 3 are jokes in themselves.

Pros

1. Quarterly bonus (this us history now with the Schwab acquisition) 2. Employee reward point system, which allowed co-workers to reward each other with points that translate to 1 point = $1. This also was phased out by Schwab. 3. Flexible work schedule.

Cons

TDA is a lean company. The workload is hectic. There is little tolerance for mistakes. People are fired easily for mistakes.

Pros

Pay is about average buy don't expect raises and be prepared for a 12K paycut. You will get support from peers who are in the same boat as you, only because they are worried about losing their jobs. Otherwise it's every man for himself. Another pro is at least they didn't close ALL of their branches.

Cons

Too much pressure to sell underperforming managed accounts. Top management is only concerned with bottom line. They talk about how great their "Culture" is when it's really non-existent.

Pros

great department to work in, no complaints

Cons

I don't have any cons at this time

Pros

Pay is great PTO is great Coworkers are great

Cons

Poor Management Boring, repetitive work The management style is to treat you like a child. Reprimanding you and watching your every move like a hawk. You need to ask to stop taking calls in order to use the restroom. There is not very much upward movement due to the company acquisition and movement of headquarters. You also get in trouble if after the call the client reviews TD Ameritrade poorly. You see they review your service and how they feel about TD Ameritrade. You may score all 10's, but they say that doesn't matter because TD still got a lower score than that and it is your responsibility to get the client to feel better about the company.... Ridiculous.
