Pros

Great entry level position with benefits

Cons

Low rate of salary increases and top heavy management with little chance for promotion. Infrequent reviews and lack of clear career path. The reviews were a foregone conclusion and employees have little say in setting goals and how to reach the next level

Pros

Culture very pro-employee. Still has a strong brand and looks good on the resume.

Cons

The culture! Can be hard to get anything done as a new person there. You're always swimming upstream, and outside/different viewpoints are not always heard.

Pros

Charles Schwab is a company that believes in the satisfaction of their employees. The company works with individual employees when personal situations come up. They will give time off beyond what is allowed for family emergencies and personal health issues. The benefits package is also very nice. Schwab is also a company that is commited to their clients and making sure that they have a good experience each and every time they interact with the firm.

Cons

Some downsides to working at Schwab are that the wages are not that high when starting out and it takes a while to move up the pay charts. It's also is hard to move up within your own department, you really will have to move to another department to take a management position.
