Impressive history overshadowed by management challenges - Senior Manager Charles Schwab Employee Review

- Great Work & Life Balance. - Paid Licensing -Great place to network

No cons to give here

Decent offices, good but not great comp packages relative to other FinTech options in my city. Amazing co-workers and an interesting product suite. Solid tech if a bit long in the tooth. It's great working for a winning team and Schwab is nothing if not a success story in the discount brokerage industry. It's telling that despite leaving on something of a downbeat I am still a loyal customer.

I was there at the worst possible time probably; I was acquired along with the rest of TDAmeritrade (which I think I gave 4 or maybe even 5 stars: lost my history with the Indeed/Glassdoor migration), and in addition to the dysfunction that follows any such M&A activity there was ... COVID. I found that where TDA had done a great job of treating "Human resources" as people Schwab saw us more as Resources. Very top-down, very my way or the highway. Schwab was more base-pay centric while TDA was more entrepreneurial with it's comp and other benefits.
