I worked at Scotiabank full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
There are some wonderful people working at Scotiabank and the retail branches were great to work at.
Cons
The goals were raised to unreachable levels, support staff were laid off, you don’t have enough time in the day to sell everything expected and do the paperwork so you must stay at least an hour extra unpaid daily just to get your work done. With goals being so high, some people will cheat to achieve them and sign people up for things unknowingly or give them products other than what they asked for. This makes it look like the honest employees don’t work hard enough.
Advice to Management
Take an honest look at what you expect from your employees. When you ask for too much, don’t be surprised when customers are lied to, and people come up with sneaky tricks to beat the system.
Pros
Good life balance, many events
Cons
Big company with old technology

- Senior management is severely out of touch with how cities not named Toronto, Vancouver, or Calgary operate.

Bring those finance jobs back to Winnipeg!

I have been working at Scotiabank full-time
Pros
pension and shares program, reputable brand
Cons
very archaic (no mobility, flexibility), micro-managed, admin heavy
Advice to Management
get with the times and trust your employees to be able to have more autonomy in their day. All the tracking of activity can be cumbersome for newer employees and a major deterrent.
