Pros

Scotia is very pro hiring on recent grads. They have great mentoring programs and will help you develop from the day you start.

Cons

it takes a long time to move up through the ranks no matter what your level of education. If you are willing to wait years to advance than this is the place to be.

Pros

- Clients are wonderful! - Free bank account and Premium credit cards.

Cons

- ZERO work/life balance. - EXTREME favoritism. - Complete lack of respect for staff privacy rights. - Manager's allowed to swear at and abuse staff without any fear of reprisal. - Immigrant staff face bullying to such a degree that it is affecting health and family relationships. If a first generation Canadian makes an honest error, s/he is belittled, reprimanded and written up; in front of staff & customers alike. Any other staff make identical error on same date, it is never noticed.
