Charles Schwab Outlook Employee Reviews

What makes you most happy at work?

When it's time to clock out

Definitely coworkers. If I didn’t have them, I’d be done

Review from Finance Dept

The diversity of my work! I am allowed to advocate what projects I want to on. It makes every day just a little bit different.

Technology, tools that used for daily work life

good pay and ability to stretch myself

Actually having meaningful educational conversations with clients. This has become a rarity.

I like my coworkers and the environment.

Review from Customer Support Dept

I love the people at work.

Atmosphere Is nice comfortable and friendly

Review from Finance Dept

Learning about the stock market.

The end of the workday

Best team to work with, very supportive

enough time to implement features

When I'm doing stuff I enjoy.

Helping customers live their best life

Knowing I have a job to survive. And being remote.

Free flow of ideas and the ability to execute and impact change.

The business strategy is fantastic, client centric, and wants to keep moving forward.

The connection to the mission and stretch assignments available if I choose

Having the ability to help others grow in their career

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

In areas where a process could be improved, automated, or modernized, middle managers are often incentivized to grow their team or budget, regardless of impact to the bottom line. This has led to highly inefficient outcomes, hidden in the costs of doing business, and limits innovation going forward.

Limited growth opportunities, very top heavy organization that manages everything top-down. People have been in their roles for a very long time (10+ yrs.) and tend to dismiss new ideas / groupthink

Too much influence from external hires who are not immersed in the foundations of the company culture

Politics rules everything so do not bother

Review from Product Dept

Seeing through the client's eyes had been replaced with the shareholder's eyes

Review from Customer Support Dept

Cooperation between groups. Stop the finger pointing and work together helping each other achieve.

What do you like best about your company?

I love the emphasis on servant leadership. I love how i was able to pitch an improvement idea on my 4th day and instead of leaders telling me to shut up because I was a new hire, this improvement was trsted that day before being permanently impmemented.

Chuck and the founding principles

What would you most like to see improved at your company?

Clean house in my division, being careful to retain those who truly value customer service, accountability, and innovation

Culture is silos
