      Great people, if only those were the ones that managed.

      Pros

      The best reason for working for BMO Financial group is meeting the people. Almost everyone is friendly and easy to get along with. There are many social activities and if you enjoy getting involved it is a great experience.

      Cons

      The managers care nothing about you in some areas. The technology is so behind compared to other financial groups that its always "sorry we can't do that like they can..." etc. The starting pay seems to be quite a bit lower than other financial institutes.

      Bleak Corporate Culture

      Pros

      The Benefits package is certainly worth working for if you are a permanent employee, though as a consultant/contractor (one of many!) I did not receive this. The pay was fair in regards to the level of experience which I had at the time. As well, the emphasis on and support for professional development at higher levels is quite good, though this was only uncovered by fluke in my position.

      Cons

      The corporate culture is fairly bleak, as most people don't seem to take any pride or joy in their work. This is translated into a negative work environment, and can make working rather unpleasant. As well, there is a disconnect between senior managers and middle managers, whereby middle managers are able to get away with exploitation of those under them by virtue of SMs not being involved in or aware of the work of MMs.

      Pros

      The clients and opportunity for a diverse look & insight at different peoples views, companies, etc. Notwithstanding the comments below, there are numerous fabulous employees with the best intentions.

      Cons

      Sr management does not adhere well to their own promises, particularly in light of claims made to employees and clients. Too many to list.
