Unnecessarily difficult place to work. Branch level.
Pros
Many nice people at work but can be very clique-y. Lots of job experience. Lots of coaching.
Cons
Coaching to the point of being annoying. Emphasis on sales, sales, sales. Selling to people who can't afford the products is encouraged. Boring contests that don't pay out. When people win the big across-Canada contests they have to pay a ton of taxes on the prize. Management can be secretive and sneaky There is no privacy for you if you do any banking there,...they talk amongst themselves about your transactions. Lots of high-school drama and gossip. Some places managed better than others. I worked at 2 branches....the management at one of them was phony, mean, and nasty, and the other was fantastic, kind, and well-liked. The payscale compared to other banks is the lowest.
