I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Scotiabank
Interview
Process did not take very long to do, met with branch manager and went over situational questions. From the date of the interview to first day on training was about 1-2 weeks. Very relaxed environment, very nice and easy going. Depending on the area I would recommend asking for more $$ just based on the amount of work that is required, most days working overtime without pay just to get things done in the timeframe expected. Very fast pace environment.
