Scotiabank reviews

Worst job of my whole career. From hiring to my last day, it began badly and never improved. The position was listed as a Vancouver job, but it was actually based out of Toronto. I asked twice what the work hours would be and they lied about the expected work hours. No one in leadership ever acknowledged the misrepresentation of the work hours. It's illegal to misrepresent the terms of an employment. As soon as I started, a long-term employee started to tell me about how un-trustworthy the bank is. It's the most disorganized place I've ever seen. The org structure also makes no sense. There are companies doing things well and I don't understand why Scotiabank doesn't start looking to them for guidance. The culture is full of dishonesty. I've never been in company that's unethical to such a degree. Leadership takes almost no accountability. They blame lower echelon employees instead. I've also never seen such a tight-pursed company before. They issue junk and refuse to issue necessary equipment for employees to do a good job. What makes no sense is that they spend more money on salaries having meetings to justify not supplying hardware than it would cost to just pay for the hardware in the first place. I know they're a bank, which is all about money, but they take it to an extreme with capitalization exercises. You end up spending more time documenting your work than actually completing your work. The most recent Pulse survey revealed that nearly half of the employees don't trust leadership and there's a good reason for it. Stay away.
