Pros

If you enjoy dealing with people then it is an ideal position. The role is extremely client centric and very involves heavy interaction with both internal and external stakeholders

Cons

Difficult to move. Long hours. Strict and hard deadlines with many conflicting tasks. Not supported well by management. Not privy to what is going on in the bank - kept as silos. Are reliant on many other departments to get simple processes done yet not given access. Must be willing to take the brunt of client complaints on a regular basis - they will always be directed to you to fix even if you have no control or authority over the situation or an ability to resolve it.

Pros

Good company, usually banks are a stable employer despite volatility in energy town

Cons

All main banks are based in Toronto, limiting senior opportunities locally. What you get in security, you may give up in compensation rates compared to Energy industries

Pros

While i only worked there for 5 months due to me getting sick and not being able to preform it was a fun enviroment except not getting the proper training.

Cons

Very bad training and when I was hired just was thrown to the wolves and needed to figure it all out by myself. Got transfered to a different branch within my "training time" which was a big hinderance.
