Pros

The people I worked with for 8 years were amazing. I was extremely satisfied with the culture, structure, and employee growth opportunities that were available.

Cons

Key note from my 'pros' section of comments: PAST TENSE. With the recent structural changes, not only did I see a shift in culture and employee satisfaction, I saw an unwillingness to offer career advancement opportunities unless it's within a branch. Management does everything possible to keep FA's within the branch system, where I feel there is no growth opportunity past being a branch manager. I used to be proud to work for Scotiabank. I left at the right time.

Pros

A couple of smart people who are kind and open to mentoring. Hours not bad given no deal flow in US.

Top heavy management. Culture values heavy politicking. Low bonuses.
