      Pros

      benefits Temporary remote work due to COVID Well-known bank to put on your resume

      Cons

      MICROMANAGING lower pay compared to other banks (expect 40k) You are just a number, and they only care about the numbers to make their team look good Rude customers yelling at you 24/7 CALL CENTER ENVIRONMENT: every role is trust me. The job was extremely misleading and the turnover is HIGH. One person left after two days! Many people do not last past 3-6 months Promised we would study for our licenses, everytime someone asked, the date would change. Training is not long enough, you will find yourself transferring to departments all day. Call volume is extremely high. The highest I’ve seen was 900 calls waiting.

      Pros

      Excellent launch point for a successful career in finance Opportunity for promotion GREAT colleagues Managers are amazing Meaningful professional development time: Schwab is huge and there are lots of departments you can have very successful careers in. There are coaches you can speak to for career guidance, and you are allocated a certain number of hours per quarter to explore/think about/develop your career. Good work life balance NO COLD CALLING

      Cons

      Inbound call center role with many different KPIs. It can be difficult to consistently meet all of them month over month, but if you do, you will be rewarded. You will be expected to put out fires for upset clients, which doesn't happen too often, but can be difficult. Licensing exams are usually a condition of employment depending on which call center you work in. The exams are not easy and some struggle to pass them.

      Thanks for the balanced review. Growth and development remain priorities, and it is good to hear you have seen that firsthand. It’s great to see the support from managers, strong colleagues, and the career development resources making a difference. Client-facing roles can be demanding at times, and supporting employees with resources remains a focus. Feedback that highlights both strengths and gaps gives a more complete picture. We will make sure this input is shared through the right channels.

      Pros

      -I did not know anything about finance, just had sales experience to my name and an open mind to learning and they took me in and tought me so much. -Benefits are top tier, from the basics to some that you didn't know they even existed. -They give you 8 hours a quarter for personal development. -Good pay without even including bonus or language add ons. -You will learn a LOT -

      Cons

      -2 year role commitment -Very corporate so might not let be your true self in the job with peers.
