Pros
I'm relatively new to banking, and from what I've heard of other banks, Scotiabank has an advantage for those seeking to grow from being less structured and organized. It is a good employer for many. It is also in the middle of a transformation that is opening up some great opportunities.
Cons
If you seek a highly organized and structured work environment where you are one part of a larger smooth running machinery, you'll be disappointed in Scotiabank. It is in the midst of a massive transformation, and it was always a little less structured than, let's say RBC or CIBC. Being in the midst of a transformation means, you can either be amongst those enjoying some of the sweetest rewarding work environments, or those that are marked for questioning. So the cons is essentially that there is just a high level of uncertainty at Scotiabank at this time.
