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

There are a few great managers here, but they are few and far between. Good amount of sick pay.

Cons

Underpaid for the role. Just another cog in the machine to get tasks done. If you don’t have seniority, but are being mistreated by individuals who are more senior, be ready to shoulder the blame for errors even if you are new. The lack of training is astounding, especially for some departments that are expanding. Lots of koolaid drinking. If you care about being kind and authentic, be careful which team you land with. Take your time during the interview process.
