Pros

Benefits are good . Good food around area

Cons

No room to grow or learn in department. All task are outsourced. No hands on experience. Always thought about joining a circus as a kid. But this is ridiculous. This is the Ringling Bros. Circus of Banks.

No Accountability

Pros

Decent benefits, great pay, and amazing coworkers. New ideas are usually encouraged.

Cons

There is no accountability with poor employees or managers. A manager can have a reputation of being very verbally abusive and have 4 people (out of their team of 9) leave in the past year because of their abusive management style and HR won't do anything about it. The Bank continues to lose great employees because of the lack of action by HR. The lack of accountability extends to IT where employees have easily lost 2 weeks each of work in the last year due to IT issues. Email was down for 4 days in December. Like how does that even happen at a company of this size? The work environment is super bland since someone had the brilliant idea to paint EVERYTHING beige. Bathrooms are cramped on some floors and some people tend to miss the toilets, quite regularly. It's quite sad... and messy. The bathrooms are also often out of toilet paper and paper towels, at least once a week.

Pros

Offers a good defined benefit pension plan and excellent health and dental benefits. Matching RRSP contributions up to a certain percentage of your pay.

Cons

Very high sales pressure from management to achieve unrealistic and always increasing sales targets. Its like being a used car salesman. The company talks about customers and employees being important, but in reality, only sales count. Unless you are consistently exceeding sales targets, your job will be threatened and you will be put under constant stress, anxiety, ,mental harassment and psychological pressure that is toxic to your health. Lots of unpaid overtime is required. You will have to do the work of two people. They will squeeze you for all you are worth.
