Left Schwab, go with Fidelity or Vanguard?

I gave Schwab a try. I’m not a trader, I’m an investor, and Schwab was just too much for me. The straw that broke it for me was trying to dump a chunk into SGOV, then checking 5 days later to see it still sitting as cash.

I called and the rep told me it was because of ‘X’. I challenged his statement, then he changed his answer to ‘Y’. Not confidence inspiring.

I got no notification about the failed purchase, had more than enough cash to cover it, and the explanations, and the app, just didn’t make sense to me.

So on to another brokerage. Anyone feel like recommending one of the others? A little insight from those with more experience would be great. Thanks.
