Pros

Scotia Capital is a good place to work and one of the biggest players in commodities trading. Good working atmosphere.

Cons

Too compartmentalized. There needs to be greater cohesion among the many groups at Scotia. For example dealing with TAG (the IT group) was always difficult as they are regarded as in-house "contractors."

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