Pros

Company phone and credit card to be used for business purposes. Quarterly bonus advance.

Cons

Manager was an absolute nightmare to work with/for and had a proven track record of harassing employees into quitting or being let go. I went to HR about the issue and they were unhelpful. Manager always tried to justify her role by creating ridiculous busy work for her employees that was never been by anyone of importance.

Pros

Great clients, decent benefits, acceptable pay, excellent training for when you move on.

Cons

Pay below competitors, constant inbound calls, stringent metrics that tighten annually, middle-of-the-road work-life balance. Schwab used to have great culture, but it becomes more "corporate" every year and with every new CEO. The "Executive Council" is wildly out of touch with frontline employees and needs to stop passing the buck of employee dissatisfaction into the managers.
