Pros

-I work as a teller but initially i was hired through the co-op student program through my college program. some of the best reason to work at Scotiabank is that they dont lay you off, its a friend environment to work in so there is politcs involved and the management helps you a lot when you're starting off to get to know the banks policies and procedures.

Cons

- Its quiet stressful at times because at start the customer dont really like you and might discourage you. - low pay because the amount of work a teller does so def underpaid -training could be better
