      Pros

      Good thing about scotiabank: make you think you can work there forever but this is not true. As you need special political skills to hang on to you job

      Cons

      Very bad communications within team. Bad management. Too much politics.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Perceived job security. Many different areas to work within and develop expertise.

      Cons

      Pay and comp. are average. Advancement and movement within the co. are very difficult to achieve. A very critical work environment : no praise just negativity. Poor, non-insightful management who get paid far above the lower levels of staff i.e. Director and below.

      Pros

      It's a relatively safe place. Not many layoffs. It's difficult to fire people. Pretty good work environment.

      Cons

      Low pay. Many "lifers". Overall it's a "cheap" bank, with outdated technology.
