Coast Capital Savings Reviews

Pros

Close knit, comforting and contentment. Never have I worked for a company that cares for you as much as Coast. The ability to advance is totally based on how much you apply yourself and drive yourself to succeed. I read through some of these comments and some make absolutely no sense. I've been here more than 10 years and have had the offers to move companies for more money, but Coast makes it so Money isn't... the only reason to have a job.

Cons

Not really a con. We are busy, people that is a good thing. Imagine if you weren't busy?

Cons

I worked at Coast Capital for 2 years in total, I worked full time and part time. Management is extremely unprofessional, and nosy. I would ask for a half day off with a months notice, and they would decline my request. Then both my managers would leave early or not even show up to work on the day I had requested off. I had to go to a doctors appointment, and was asked in front of the whole team why I had to go to... the doctors, what my blood test was for, and why I had to go to an appointment so last minute. Coast Capital management made it very clear that they did not care about my privacy at all, and did not care about putting me in an uncomfortable position in front of the whole branch team. Managers were firing individuals with no cause, which put everyone in the branch on edge. The employee culture was consistently going down steadily, and nothing was being done to change it whatsoever. If you expressed you wanted a change in position/department you would not be given opportunities, YET punished for wanting to leave your current role. I ended up resigning due to this toxic work environment, and my manager then proceeded to try and argue with me via email about why I was leaving. I did not reply to these emails, as I wanted to leave on a "good note". The HR department has no confidentiality, and people being terminated or let go was being spread throughout the company. Everyone knew when an individual was being "transferred" out of the company, or when someone was written up. It needs to be understood that people's privacy should be held to the utmost importance. Coast Capital does not take this seriously at all, and needs to be held accountable for the emotional turmoil they have pressed upon their current and past employees.

Pros

Great culture in most teams and a lot of great people. Good benefits.

Cons

No opportunities for growth. Some teams can have toxic people, which is due to lack of strong leadership. Slow paced. Parking.
