Pros

Great atmosphere to work, mostly a team focus instead of a me focus. People are willing to help others in time of need. Always room for advancement into higher levels in the bank.

Cons

Sometimes supervisors dont really listen to employees as much as they should. Some of the policies are a little out to sea. Sometimes there doesnt feel like theres as much privacy as there should be.

Pros

Company stability and security. International bank visibility. Reasonable compensation for work performed. ESOP, Pension plan and flexible benefits program. Scotiabank is very supportive of many charity organizations.

Cons

Vacation entitlement is inadequate especially for newer employees. Micro-management, excessive adminstrative duties and large client base are counter-productive to performance. Far too much time is spent attending branch meetings, processing redundant paperwork and addressing client concerns unrelated to my position of Financial Advisor. As a result goals are unrealistic and unattainable in ‘scheduled’ work hours.
