Professional Sabbatical information

How can taking a professional sabbatical benefit my long-term career prospects?

A professional sabbatical can offer you a valuable opportunity to recharge, acquire new skills, or gain fresh perspectives that may enhance your future work performance. Many employers recognize the benefits of sabbaticals, such as increased creativity, reduced burnout, and improved problem-solving abilities upon return. During your sabbatical, you can pursue further education, volunteer, or work on personal projects, all of which can add depth to your resume and make you more competitive for advancement or new roles. Careful planning and clear communication with your employer can help ensure a smooth transition both before and after your sabbatical.

What is a professional sabbatical?

A professional sabbatical is an extended period away from work, typically granted by an employer, that allows employees to pursue personal or professional development, travel, research, or rest. Unlike regular vacation, sabbaticals are usually longer, ranging from a few weeks to a year, and may be paid or unpaid depending on the organization’s policy. The goal is to provide employees with time to recharge, gain new skills, or explore interests that can ultimately benefit both the individual and the company upon their return.

Job description

Position Type: Regular
Your opportunity

At Schwab, you’re empowered to make an impact on your career. Here, innovative thought meets creative problem solving, helping us “challenge the status quo” and transform the finance industry together. 

Bring your passion for helping people and your drive to make a difference. At Schwab, our service team is at the heart of helping participants own their financial futures. As the trusted voice on the line, you’ll answer inbound calls from employer sponsored retirement and 401(k) plan participants, listening actively, taking ownership, and turning every conversation into an opportunity to educate and solve problems.  

You’ll take a consultative approach to demystify plan features and guide people toward confident decisions, using our integrated systems and resources to deliver world‑class solutions that truly matter. You don’t need a finance background; what sets you apart is your commitment to serving others and your eagerness to learn and grow.  

Here, you chart your professional journey through structured training, on-the-job learning, and individual coaching, building expertise in retirement products and client service while developing skills that can launch a rewarding career in financial services. 

If you’re ready to make an impact and build a future you’re proud of, this is where your journey begins. 

In addition to base salary, this role is eligible for bonus or incentive opportunities. We offer a competitive pay differential for candidates who are bilingual in Spanish, recognizing the added value of supporting a broader client base. Terms and conditions apply. 

Note: The office is located at 11800 Schwab Way, Austin, TX. The New Hire Training Class is September 21,2026

What you have

We believe great service starts with the right mindset and skills. Successful candidates are required to have  

  • A passion for helping participants and ensuring positive experiences. 
  • Ability to convey information clearly and build trust. 
  • Openness to feedback and a growth mindset. 
  • Problem-solving with confidence and clarity. 
  • Understanding and responding to client needs with empathy. 
  • Accuracy and thoroughness in every interaction. 
  • Working as part of a supportive team and adapting to change. 
  • Ability to work full time on-site during Schwab's training program, followed by a hybrid work schedule.  
  • Ability to work various shifts to serve our participants, with availability Monday-Friday any time between 7:00am to 9:00pm Central Time. 

Preferred qualifications: 

  • Previous customer service or client relationship experience. 
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher.
