Business Outlook
Pros
Schwab's vision/goal is to always put the client's needs first. To offer our clients the best products, services and tools so that we meet the clients needs. They are first and foremost client orientated (as opposed to being bottom-line orientated for their shareholder/investors). It fosters a very open corporate culture with emphasis on greater work/life balance.
Cons
The salaries, bonuses and pay rises appear to be lower than other financial services firms or banks in the industry. The management structure has changed many times during my tenure at the firm. I do not agree with all the decisions that the executive committee have made/implemented in the last 18 months.
