      Pros

      To get a start in the industry. Stay for as short a time as possible then move on. If you look around and your still there after 3 years force yourself to get out and find bigger and greater challenges in the industry. If not you'll just be a wasting your career in a drone like position and hating yourself for it. Continue your education while at Schwab and work on making yourself more marketable. Consider your time at Schwab just a stepping stone to a greater career.

      Cons

      Your will not develop professionally. It can stiffle any entrepenural impulses you might be born with. It is very beauracratic with middle management usually hiding from anything resembling risk taking.

      Good enough to start but keep your eyes open for opportunities elsewhere.

      Pros

      Family oriented...if you have a family they are very good with providing time off, even when last minute. People are generally easy to work with and the environment is casual and relaxing (usually).

      Cons

      Constant reorganization, shifting job locations and layoffs often enough where its just another year at the company.

      Chuck is an all around great guy runs the company like an Entrepreneur instead of an executive.

      Pros

      Good solid conservative company, they are very fair to you in your job.

      Cons

      Huge company with all the inefficiencies to go along with it. Need much improvement on the technology side as compared to other brokerages. Not a lot of opportunity to move up in the company. Many people have been there for years already so its really hard to get in front of them for a promotion.
