22 Jan 2008

Scottrade made the Fortune list for the first time in the company's history coming in at No. 58. The online investment brokerage company reported 13 percent job growth and 1,584 U.S. employees.

FORTUNE singled out Scottrade's internship program, which employs 200 college students each year, as a unique program offered by the firm. More than 20 percent of Scottrade's current branch managers began their careers at Scottrade as interns, according to a Scottrade release.

In 2007, Scottrade hired more than 500 people, a 46 percent increase over 2006, and more than 500 associates were promoted in 2007, a 27 percent increase over the prior year. The company said it plans to hire nearly 400 more associates in the coming year.
