      No opinion of CEO

      I have been working at Scotiabank full-time for less than a year

      Pros

      Book of business provided to you, salary for a new grad, and work environment

      Cons

      Hour long lunches is unnecessary. Would prefer flexible lunches

      Advice to Management

        Positive Outlook
        No opinion of CEO

        I have been working at Scotiabank part-time for more than a year

        Pros

        In the right branch, the team energy is really amazing & supportive. Scotiabank generally pretends to have this energy. In some branches/departments it's real. In others it's really not. Very management-dependent.

        Cons

        In the wrong branch, it can be very stressful & no support from managers who just want to climb the ranks.

        Advice to Management

        Listen to your front line staff & customers. Just because an idea looks good on paper doesn't mean it will work in reality.
