"The book of business that they offer is theirs and theirs alone. So while you can make a good living, if they leave you out in the cold, like they did with me, a sole-breadwinner and father of three, you will have no portable book of business to show for it. I would just give strong consideration to building your own book if you can....it may take longer, but its YOUR business that you take when you leave. This is not the case at Schwab. Believe me I know, I worked for Schwab twice. Once in a call center and once as an advisor in a branch."

There was no common sense and understanding as to why my numbers were down. But thats ok, my anger has been channeled into making me a CFA Candidate and a sucess elsewhere."
