If you don't have a soul and are ok with working in a call center then you get OT pay.
Svantaggi
E*TRADE rushed to hire a bunch of people to make Morgan Stanley happy. Their big screw up is they are higher people with no qualifications and basically hire anyone with a pulse. The customers are noticing and the quality of work is taking a nose dive. E*TRADE is now shoving sales down every employees throat. I'd compare E*TRADE to Wells Fargo prior to their scandal. Who cares about actually have knowledge and knowing what you're doing when you can shove a referral in there. 9/10 employees have absolutely no idea what they're doing and don't care. Their horrible work is left to the employees who have actually worked their for an extended period of time. Every aspect of this business is run poorly. OPS, TOA, New Hires, Management. I could go on. If you wish to actually grow and feel educated and well versed in the brokerage industry, go elsewhere. Also, don't have your stock plan team manage stock plan accounts for companies who care about their employees. No RSU and when they had an ESPP their stale stock had a discount of 5 % which is pathetically bad. I hope I saved someone a waste of time in their life they can't get back.
