Pros

Scotia Capital is a good place to work and one of the biggest players in commodities trading. Good working atmosphere.

Cons

Too compartmentalized. There needs to be greater cohesion among the many groups at Scotia. For example dealing with TAG (the IT group) was always difficult as they are regarded as in-house "contractors."

Pros

Challenge for growing the marketshare. Environment is evolving fast and the need for continuous learing is omnipresent. The atmosphere wiht the collegues is great and the senior management is open-minded. I would recomment Scotiabank as a great place to start, but after a couple of years it probably is better to switch to a competitor.

Cons

Lending policies don't allow us to be competitive in every situation. Salary is below average even for top performers, it is rather based on years of service. However, most competitors have adapted ans are offering better remuneration packages to their sales staff.
