Pros

Hmmm, not much these days. You get a salary if you stay quiet and don't make waves. Don't try to look for another job in another dept, may get fired for it

Cons

- salary not competitive, even with other financial institutions - employees fearful of getting fired so working overtime just to hold onto jobs - heard pregnant lady got fired right after announcing pregnancy - heard someone in GTB fired after father died and on same day learned wife pregnant (what the??) - still see employees who are "favorites" - those types that do less work than others and just sit on their butts sending emails, taking lots of smoking breaks and one guy on our floor plays video games all day on his phone! - terrible benefits compared to other companies - seems like the worst performing stock on TSX (I'm sure there are worse)

Pros

A couple of smart people who are kind and open to mentoring. Hours not bad given no deal flow in US.

Cons

Top heavy management. Culture values heavy politicking. Low bonuses.
