Its all about the customers, stupid.

Business Outlook

Pros

Growth and Opportunities abound. Things are slow to happen and slower to get support from Management. Resources are fantastic and if you have an idea, and run long and hard with it, you can make a change, you will get the recognition and you will be rewarded for your ideas and hard work with financial benefits and promotions.

Cons

Scotia Capital sucks when it comes to compensation. Thats a good thing and a bad thing - Good thing cos you can learn alot and jump to a higher paying job elsewhere. Bad because you are being paid diddly squat for the work you do. Bottom line, it doesnt pay enough, I am only here because it is a great place to work.

Scotiabank is a career dead-end for the ambitious and bright

Business Outlook

Pros

Perceived job security. Many different areas to work within and develop expertise.

Cons

Pay and comp. are average. Advancement and movement within the co. are very difficult to achieve. A very critical work environment : no praise just negativity. Poor, non-insightful management who get paid far above the lower levels of staff i.e. Director and below.
