Pros

Gets your foot in the door. Ok pay and benefits. Paid vacation.

Cons

Incompetent people and management. They play favourites and treat competent workers like crap! Little room for promotion, unless you are prepared to grovel and bow to the master/mistress. They knock you down if you show progess. There are many people there with nasty attitudes there. If you defend yourself, you are blamed. Mid-Management lies about you any and every chance they get, if they are threatened by your progress. You are confronted and accused of things you did not do, HR does ask questions, they only listen to the manager-then act as judge, jury and executioner. People are rewarded for knocking down other people, teamwork is lipservice, just another useless piece of corporate jargon.

Pros

Money, I need the job as we have only one income Also I thought this is a solid company, not very far from home.

Cons

Politics, this place is really full of such things. They hired some very incompetent people. And kept those idiots there long time.

Pros

none. I would have been able to provide alot of reasons, however since being off on sickleave, they have literally ruined me. My health is worse than ever, and this is all a reflection of the treatment I have received from the management team since my leave.

Cons

scotiabank does not follow through on there commitment to customers or to there employees, from an employee of 15 yrs, i have never known a company to be so unethical, and discriminating. my advice to you, is to choose another bank because scotiabank is not at all what they claim to be.
