What Our Employees Say...

Melissa SandbergWe're a constant figure for our clients throughout their relationships with the company. We understand the unique challenges and issues our clients face, and we strive to help them make the best decisions in the face of those challenges. When you have a company with upwards of 7,000 employees... you don't necessarily know the level of financial fitness of all your employees. It's pretty exciting to give retirement plan participants the opportunity to pick up the phone and call us as oppsed to just making a random choice from the phone book.

Christine HarringtonWhen I first began working with Advisor Services, the company was full of positive energy and I was surrounded by people who loved what they did—something I hadn’t experienced at previous companies. My manager’s dedication to the vision and values of the firm was foremost in every decision he made and he instilled that in everyone who worked for him. Over the years, I’ve had many opportunities to grow and advance my career with Schwab. For me, what sets Schwab apart is the professionalism, respect and personal connection to every member on the team. I have done the best work of my career here, and I look forward to many more years of it.
