Pros

Great place for advancement if you are focused on becoming a branch manager.

Cons

Robotic environment that is severely over micromanaged and at the mercy of eastern Canada. Regular issues with approving credit when dealing with eastern adjudicators as they do not understand the western economic boom. Work life balance for level 5 and above officers is non-existent. Level 7 officers and above are expected to work overtime daily without pay as stated in their HR Policies Handbook. Great place to get a start but jump ship once on your resume. Great for recent grads.

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