Every time I call Schwab I always get excellent customer service. The representatives are knowledgeable and polite.
However, I went in to deposit a rollover check to this branch and the white guy who sits in the office to the left of the front counter, was a jerk, and that’s the nicest way to put it. The ladies at be counter were all busy when I arrived and even though he wasn’t doing anything and actually looked over at me it wasn’t until 10 minutes later when one of the ladies at the front counter asked him to deposit my check, that he actually greeted me.
I asked if Schwab was going to change the process and allow rollover deposits through the mobile app because having to drive all the way over here is a nightmare and other brokerage allow mobile deposits for rollovers.

Read moreEnjoyed the experience at first a year ago when I opened my account. However, I've been trying to get a hold of someone at this branch for more than 4 days, and have left 2 messages...no response. Now trying to work through the central call in center, and have been told that someone will get back to me in 1 - 2 business days. These response times are unacceptable for anyone that is trying to manage their money in a dynamic market.
Update: The response below is the only response I have received to date, which is for me to call back into the call center. Maybe take the initiative and reach out to me....IDK sounds crazy huh? Now going on 6 days...
