Amid 800-person hiring spree, TD Ameritrade interim CEO Steve-Boyle delivers sparkling results, underscores quick 100% work-at-home transition-- and calls Schwab merger efforts 'critical' and on-schedule

The Omaha, Neb. discount broker is luring net new assets as if the TD brand will be around forever, and no staff member will ever become redundant, even if its CEO's tenure will presumably self-expire

Interim TD Ameritrade CEO Steve Boyle isn't phoning it in [except literally] though his upside is presumed to be capped.

From a customer's perspective this move has been a total disaster. Two wonderful branch managers "Bob" and "Jeremy" are gone ( they were former SCOTTRADE associates). In their place are call center associates that routinely and repeatedly hang up on clients. TD moved MY account to a BRANCH several hours away and refuse to honor a request to assign it to the closest branch. I like F2F with my branch, so they at least know who I am. Is it possible they discarded long term valuable competent associates and came up with a plan to hire these lower cost, call center "trainees" & scored executive bonuses? I would NOT be BRAGGING about what you accomplished. That is my feedback. They are moving to a call center model, with limited branches with financial advisors. They have zero intention of "serving" trading clients at the branch, no matter how many millions you have invested. Let your feet do the talking.
