Pros

Good benefits. Wonderful staff always willing to assist if time/their workload permits. Very inclusive. Work-life balance is okay.

Cons

Lack of organization on a branch-level, in company's strategic direction, and in training program. Not enough employees at branch resulted in few people dealing with extremely high volumes of customers; ultra-high stress environment, unmanageable. Scotiabank recently did not exhibit loyalty to its employees by letting go of huge volumes of long-standing, experienced staff as part of the Wave... that alone showed me this is not a company where I wish to launch my career.

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.
