Pros

Good benefits; Ability to balance work/life; some very nice people

Cons

No recognition from upper management; bottom line is always most important; morale still hasn't recovered from the layoffs of years past; no retention of good people; general feeling is that people are expendable as there will always be someone who wants to work at Schwab. Once you are in a position, very difficult to get a promotion unless you are working on a very visible project.

-I did not know anything about finance, just had sales experience to my name and an open mind to learning and they took me in and tought me so much. -Benefits are top tier, from the basics to some that you didn't know they even existed. -They give you 8 hours a quarter for personal development. -Good pay without even including bonus or language add ons. -You will learn a LOT -

Cons

-2 year role commitment -Very corporate so might not let be your true self in the job with peers.
