Pros

Strong brand and reputation in the Canadian financial sector Exposure to a wide range of banking products and systems Opportunity to develop sales and client interaction skills

Cons

Very high sales targets, even during the training period Micromanagement and constant pressure to achieve 100% of targets Limited support while still learning products and processes Strong emphasis on selling, sometimes regardless of whether the product was genuinely needed by the client Weekly full-day outbound calling focused on sales, which often felt ineffective and disconnected from meaningful client needs Feedback style could feel discouraging rather than developmental
