I worked for Schwab until mid last year and can tell you the technology issues are real. As employer we hoped they would slap a Schwab logo on the TD web's and call it a day. Internally the systems are equally bad. The only way to get a change is a social media type setup that you have to get upvotes from other employees which is a joke. Additionally, they are correct about the bureaucratic nightmare at Schwab. Low level managers are more DEI hires than financial experience. Mid-level are the definition of yes men and the top, well let's just say they bungle everything. The past couple of years is like watching the Roman Empire crash. Run away.
