Commercial Customer Service Representative

What’s the best way to have a lack of compensation and incentive conversation in your department? I went above and beyond for years doing extra work, organizations etc and nothing has been reflected in pay. I thought my 5 year was going to finally show something but it did not. I’ve inquired about pay but it’s gotten nowhere.

        Pros

        Large, recognizable parent organization in the form of Scotiabank (though there seems to be little mobility between ScotiaMcLeod and other parts of the bank), high degree of autonomy, free WSJ subscription.

        Cons

        Shockingly poor management team- largely absent and seemingly more concerned with office politics. Woeful displays of incompetence far below the standards expected at a major financial institution- constant internal entanglements between advisors and managers. Complete lack of training and support for new staff, very little clarity and communication, absolutely no collaboration or teamwork. In short- minimal growth opportunities, subpar pay and zero mentorship opportunities. Be prepared to experience business practices that should have no place in the modern-day workplace let alone a major Canadian bank. Unpaid overtime hours, atrocious displays of nepotism and if you're in the non-Anglophone minority, a healthy dose of casual racism.

      Property Manager

      As a leasing agent for two years, I then worked my way to assistant manager for t 11 months. Then, to a property manager position, nine months into my new role as manager, I was terminated, with no warning, completely unexpected. How do I explain this undeserving action and embarrassment in an upcoming interview without any risk in the decision-making of my employment with the company I am interested in? I hope I am relaying this in a way that is understood.
