Business outlook
Pros
Stable job. Some jobs have flexible hours. Your immediate team might be good and your regular contacts. Paternity leave. Banks are expected to continue to do great. We survived Nov 2008.
Cons
Benefits have recently been slashed and now costs you. Pay can be quite low compare to other institutions even though the bank has made profits year after year. The manager's bonus is dependent on how low they can keep their budget ex your salary. Staff discounts or benefits at the branch is not that great. Ex. Shop around for your mortgage because you're not going to get the best from BNS. Budgets for social events have been slashed and may now cost you. You still have to go to show your face.
