Scotiabank reviews

1. Office gossiping is very high and the Managers sit and do nothing to help the sales team meet goal. The pressure is completely on you. 2. Tremendous amount of paperwork and service issues that takes up the advisors time. Your whole day can get ruined with paperwork 3. Sales goals are ridiculous and stressful 4. Compensation is not worth the stress. FA4 $40k, FA5 $50k, FA6 $65k. Goals 12mil, 18mil, 26mil respectively for a medium size branch 5. High turnover (Maybe treat current staff properly and this will change). Also customers hate when their advisor changes often 6. When you leave work your mind will still be there (high stress environment)

-Not paid nearly enough for the stress you have to deal with. -Management are entirely incompetent and training is horrible (be prepared to learn almost everything on your own or be fired). -Corporate culture is built on selling as much as possible, ethics be damned. -You will be shamed and ostracized for sticking up for customers and trying to sell products ethically. -If you are not a yes-man you will not be promoted. -You are expected to work overtime without pay, because in a sales position overtime is "voluntary". -Sales targets and micromanagement increase every year, they are now both at absurdly high levels. -Upper management have no clue what is happening at branch level and keep making entirely impractical recommendations that make our lives infinitely more difficult. -Internal systems are always buggy/down and having constant problems.
