      I have been working at Scotiabank full-time

      Pros

      People are nice, but still old school

      Cons

      Bringing in a lot of outside people, so opportunities for current employees are very little. In fact, often times external candidates are preferred.
      There is so much change it's hard to know if your job is safe.
      Everyone works crazy hours. Especially for Management + levels.
