Pros

Initial training. Good place to start.

Cons

Not many advancement oppotunities, hiring of directors is most often from outside Schwab. Low pay. Terrible bonus.

Pros

It was a good work environment, and fun people to work with. It was typically a relaxed environment without a lot of stressors.

Cons

Management was too focused on individual workgroup and not the department or company as a whole. Pay scales are completely unbalanced even though there is a tiered system for payment. Benefits were poor, especially retirement, which is strange for a financial services company promoting their retirement services. The goals stated by management were typically weak, to the effect that they were just trying to beat industry average, not be an industry leader.

Used to be that Schwab was the behemoth

Cons

Now, the moat has shrunk to the size of a puddle.
