Impressive history overshadowed by management challenges - Recensione dipendente - Senior Manager presso Charles Schwab

Lots of learning opportunities with opportunities for growth.

Limited to RM role for promotion, where you get stuck in that role.

Decent offices, good but not great comp packages relative to other FinTech options in my city. Amazing co-workers and an interesting product suite. Solid tech if a bit long in the tooth. It's great working for a winning team and Schwab is nothing if not a success story in the discount brokerage industry. It's telling that despite leaving on something of a downbeat I am still a loyal customer.

I was there at the worst possible time probably; I was acquired along with the rest of TDAmeritrade (which I think I gave 4 or maybe even 5 stars: lost my history with the Indeed/Glassdoor migration), and in addition to the dysfunction that follows any such M&A activity there was ... COVID. I found that where TDA had done a great job of treating "Human resources" as people Schwab saw us more as Resources. Very top-down, very my way or the highway. Schwab was more base-pay centric while TDA was more entrepreneurial with it's comp and other benefits.
