That depends who is saying it - English words vary considerably in sound, even in dialects within England and especially in American and Australian English.
In England there is usually no schwa in that word; it is said with a as in cat and like rhymes with bike.
Schwa refers to a "brief, neutral vowel sound" that is neither a nor i nor e nor o nor u and is written phonetically as an inverted e; it appears in UK English words such as postman, where "man" would normally include the proper "a" sound but in postman the a becomes a schwa: postmən.
There is often a schwa at the start of the word "above": əbove.
