      Pros

      A handful of colleagues actually knew what they were doing and were very helpful. The IT group was great, as were the Telecom team.

      Cons

      Team "lead" was a a total bully. Never a word of encouragement, nor a word of praise for a job well done. Perceived "mistakes" were pointed out constantly. The "manager" didn't have the skills to motivate the communications group. It was the "management by fear" style. This was the absolute worst experience in a workplace I've encountered in my 20+ years as a professional.

      Crappy pay and culture

      Pros

      Work life balance More open to remote roles than other big banks

      Cons

      Pay is very subpar compared to the market, regardless of the locale Limited growth opportunities if you are on the US side, as there are few US only teams and each US team reports up to a Canadian. Very Chicago / Midwest centric if you are in the US. Good luck if you are a CA employee as they don't really care about growing in CA - they acquired Bank of the West so they could cut expenses by eliminating corporate jobs in high cost of living areas.

      Pros

      Nice benefits. Great co-workers. Good work-life balance

      Cons

      Admins are not valued at this company. What company has their EAs work for different managers at different locations and drive there? If you want to move up, don't start in this role, your pigeon-holed. Just cut the pension plan starting in 2017. The downtown environment is sardine city and noisy. Not a good working environment and no privacy.
