Charles Schwab

Basicslly after merger they got rid of my position even though i was one of the highest producers.

After 10 years of working for Charles Schwab, I found myself on the mass layoff list and was no longer employed. However, during my time there I met some of the most intelligent, caring and giving individuals I have ever met. The culture there was one that works to lift you up not hold you down, a win for you is a win for the whole company. I found friendships I never thought I would find and still keep in touch with to this day. The work I did was exciting and very fulfilling, I hope to find another position like that again someday.

I loved working at Charles Schwab. The people were all varied in their experiences which also lead to the variety of humor around the office. Many different groups were under the same ceiling, including creative, buyers, traders and others I didn't even understand. But we all got along, even though there were 'groups' among the groups. I talked with everyone across them all and had a great time specifically in my group of five and with all the others as I walked around and chatted when a break was needed. All people knew what to do for their own group so questions could always be answered.

Great place to work on finance domain and learn the business , worked on retail and Banking space and loved the commitment

Loved the company started in SF when the company was family like. Late 80’s early 90’s is how long I lasted. Went to Phoenix and got Assassinated.

Loved the culture and people. Didn’t have much room for growth but very rewarding work environment.

Clients come first and culture is phenomenal. Great people. Great place to de business as a client. Fair and balanced.

Company will have mandatory and voluntary overtime during ALL holiday seasons. Tenured employees allowed to dismiss this and “new” employees forced to obey. I worked multiple voluntary overtime shifts willingly & was let go for missing a day of a scheduled shift. After working there for a year plus, always timely and going above and beyond. Let go because of one no call no show emergency. Typical call center environment that doesn’t care about the employees just the callers on the other end. Don’t be impressed that it’s a financial firm. Operates like any other call center in the area.

High end of salary range. Good benefits. Cafeteria is great. Only issue is there's no real career growth or progression. People stay in the same positions for 10+ years, but the competitive pay may justify this in some people's eyes
