Pros

It's relatively easy to start your carrier with Schwab, pay is semi competitive and they offer great benefits package. Decent training, and they will pay for your licensing. Honest and reputable company, they treat their clients very well thus making it easier to work there when you know they have your back when it comes to helping out a client.

Cons

It's hard to move around in the company once you are in. Especially if you are a broker at a call center they tend to like keeping you on the phones and not promote or move you laterally. Incentives are designed to keep the turnover rate down, so it's an extremely drawn out process.
