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.

Pros

good experience in the banking industry + experience across a wide range of products and investment vehicles....not a bad place to start

Cons

low pay, slow to move up... all they care about is pushing sales... the position is far from 'financial advisor' when everything is solved by a credit card
