Pros

Fundamentally, and relative to it's peers, Schwab is an ethical company with sound corporate values and a sincere commitment to its customers and shareholders.

Cons

It is a tough place to get promoted, even when doing good work, or to develop or progress in a career.

Pros

Great technology and back office support. Great products and value to clients. Brokers are empowered to make decisions to satisfy clients.

Cons

Doesn't seem to value independent / creative thinking. Because Schwab is such a big company, in order to make things scalable, they need/try to control a little too much.
