Pros

Best reasons to work here are, you enjoy inflicting pain on yourself, you have a death wish, you thrive on torture, or you just don't care.

Cons

Micromanagement, low pay and uncompetitive benefits, no growth-senior workers have to die off or retire to create openings. No remote work option due to extreme micromanagement. Can't take accumulated vacation due to micromanagement.

Pros

It is hard to think about the pros of this company.. I guess it paid the bills.

Cons

This company is terrible! They do NOT care about their employees, they are just numbers to them. Management is horrible.. They are disrespectful, not caring, do a lot of unnecessary micro-managing, turn on you when they feel like it. They are not organized, always short-staffed, not willing to hire more people when needed. Their "help desk" is not helpful, processing requests to people you cannot contact and follow up with. The pay is decent if asked for it at the time of hiring. They hardly ever give raises and their goals are nearly impossible to reach. They will work you until you cannot take it anymore. There is so much stress in this company that you will start talking those problems home/personal life. I read bad reviews when I got my interviews for BMO but I still gave it a try.. Big mistake.. NOT worth it, not worth it at all!!! Please take the time to educate yourself about this company before you make the commitment to work for them. Go to their branches and look at how their employees and how unhappy and stressed they are. They will offer products down people's throats to be able to make their numbers and not be yelled at by management and being forced to do outbound calls to make more sales, sales, sales. Management ALWAYS has something to point out that your doing wrong and no matter how hard you work, it will NEVER be good enough. I worked for the company for about three years and they were very ungrateful to everything I had contributed to the company. I was never given a significant raise and when I asked for it, I was decided multiple times. The list goes on........ RUN AWAY FROM THIS HORRIBLE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION!!!
