Pros
Pretty stable company with decent benefits. Overall, nice people work here
Cons
The company culture promotes privilege and an overall elitist mindset. I've worked in three different departments in my time here and have seen the same behaviors in each one. People tattle on each other, make up lies, and try to stab you in the back to promote themselves and steer people away from their incompetence. Many people are bad at their jobs but get promoted or receive opportunities they're not qualified for because they've been there for so long. The Executives pretend to care about their employees, but they don't. We were one of the last companies to go remote when COVID hit. They were actually mandating that people keep coming in when other companies mandated you stay home. Yes, the CEO actually sent a firm wide email telling all employees that we needed to come in because technology couldn't support us all working from home at the same time. They also instituted COVID pay for the first two months of the pandemic which entitled you to paid time off (that didn't count against vacation or sick time) if you tested positive for COVID or came in contact with someone who did. But they cut this right before the cases spiked and numerous employees got sick. Did they reinstate it? No. Why not? Because it was all for show, like everything they do at this company. Fake it til you make it is the Charles Schwab way.
