Good company, ok job
Participant Services Representative (Current Employee), Austin, TX – May 30, 2013
I believe Schwab overall is a solid company with integrity, but I have not enjoyed my job with them. Being in a call center environment is not for me, being told exactly when I can take breaks and lunches, and not being able to get vacation without scheduling it several weeks out.

Great company; poor job
Broker Trainee (Former Employee), Indianapolis, IN – May 29, 2013
Pros:
Company has an excellent culture; very talented co-workers; you will learn a lot and have some incredible experiences; management is good; you feel like you're working for a morally sound finance company, which can be rare.

Cons:
Work schedule is not always flexible, sometimes you're working a tough schedule; the pay is low, especially for the – more... job; they want the talent of a stock broker, but want to pay you like a call person. – less

One of my least favorite contracts
Business Analyst (Former Employee), Englewood, CO – April 13, 2013
Cons: 12 layers of clueless management above me
I worked in IT in the south Denver location. i really hated the job, everyone worked remote since they outsource most jobs to India, but they made me commute to a mostly empty office since I was a contractor. The management was clueless and some of the other employees were rude and insulting, but my manager didn't care. I thought it would be a great – more... company to work for but I was disgusted to learn how much off-shoring of American jobs they do, I quit and closed my account quickly. – less

Where it all started
SENIOR MANAGER, INTERNATIONAL (Former Employee), San Francisco, CA – April 11, 2013
Charles Schwab was the company that launched by career. Good ethics, good people, good culture.

Working in the Asia Pacific International Division was a true blessing because it was the fastest growing department in the company and with that meteoric rise came many opportunities to learn and excel. I probably did more in 4 years than most people do – more... in 10 and was given assignments and responsibilities far greater than most people at the tender age of 26 would have gotten. – less

Very stressful, unforgiving environment
Retirement Plan Specialist (Current Employee), Austin, TX – April 9, 2013
Pros: great benefits
Cons: very inflexible workplace.
The overall company is great. The call center environment is very stressful. Of course it depends on who your manager is. That makes all the difference. If you have an experienced, supportive manager, you will have a better experience.

The most stressful part of the job is placing exchanges in clients accounts accurately in the first 6 months of employment – more... when you do not have a series 7 license.

They used to only devote 1 1/2 to training for exchanges. I believe the new classes are getting more now. – less
