Pros

One of the few jobs with a pension. Good for people with excellent interpersonal skills. No overnight shifts. No Sundays. Statutory holidays off. Inclusive environment (gays can be openly gay, the teller line often looks like the United Nations) The glass ceiling is for most women with children not until you get to the district manager level.

Cons

Outdated badly maintained technology and internal programs. Very poor training "trial by fire" . Do not expect the job to be 9 to 5 many financial service representative start at 8 work as late as 7:30 and often work saturdays. You will need to supplement your pension as it has an accrual rate of 0.8% per year compared to government/teacher of 2% per year.

Pros

-People were friendly and would do coffee chats/one-on-one lunches. -Other interns were great. -Base compensation as an analyst is on the higher end.

Cons

-Feedback from intern manager only given at the end of a rotation differed greatly from what team members would directly tell me which was confusing. Makes me think people are only nice on the surface. -Team members prioritized some interns over others in terms of work given and time spent. -Teams in the same product group had wildly different work life balance with some working 70+ hours a week and others working close to 40. -Has high turnover overall due to lower compensation at the Director+ level.
