Pros

I've enjoyed working here for several years. The 5 year/ 1 month sabbatical program is great. Fundamentally it's a really strong business, well managed and with many good opportunities for success. If you can find a good niche, it can be a nice place to stay.

Cons

I can't figure out what my career path could be. I don't know whether I'll still have a spot after they consolidate real estate in San Francisco. Less pursuit of excellence, and more let's all play nicely.

Pros

Decent pay, nice office, paid training and licenses. Co-workers that grow your network.

Cons

Extremely high volume call center with no end in sight. Barely any time off phones in core. You will be scheduled to take calls for almost 8 hours day (35-45 calls a day) with a 2 year commitment to the department. 95% of your start class will be gone within a year and half. Ask me how I know. The minute you avoid calls they will fire you. Get your licenses and move on. Many good jobs at Schwab, this is not one. I worked here for over 2 years, I regret not leaving earlier. Remember, nobody is your friend in corporate.
