      Pros

      Company stability and security. International bank visibility. Reasonable compensation for work performed. ESOP, Pension plan and flexible benefits program. Scotiabank is very supportive of many charity organizations.

      Cons

      Vacation entitlement is inadequate especially for newer employees. Micro-management, excessive adminstrative duties and large client base are counter-productive to performance. Far too much time is spent attending branch meetings, processing redundant paperwork and addressing client concerns unrelated to my position of Financial Advisor. As a result goals are unrealistic and unattainable in ‘scheduled’ work hours.

      Pros

      Large company so the opportunity to move to another group is frequently available. Being an active supporter of charities is a source of pride.

      Cons

      Certain groups are managed in a very old fashioned manner. Management often equates disagreement with disrespect thus discouraging people from presenting new ideas. Certain groups will also try to stop their staff from applying to other jobs within the organization in order to avoid retraining new staff.
