Pros

If you happen to get a good boss, you will have a decent work life balance. Lots of opportunities to move around. However, your previous experience matters. Benefits are similar to what the other banks offer. Good place to start your career as a new grad or new immigrant.

Cons

Scotiabank employees get paid the lowest when compared to the pay in other 4 big banks Employees are severely underpaid and overly worked Management is made of people who have risen up the ranks based on experience Systems are outdated No training is offered New hires from other organizations get paid more than the existing employees No one is ready to take responsibility of issues. It is always the case of passing the buck.

Pros

There might be some space for learning, if you are a person who cares about environment more than the job you will find it horrible.

Cons

People ignore you all the time. They are nice when you talk to them but that's about it. What really happens is that they are nice to you in front but talks behind your back. Unreasonable personal complains goes to management and gets splashed onto you without a chance to explain. It is bad to have someone talk behind your back and it is even worse to be unable to find out who it is and gets the blame anyway.
