Pros

- getting into branch banking sales in Canada is very difficult, being the 7th largest bank in Canada they often hire employees with less experience - competitive benefits - potential to make excellent bonuses in major markets - great support from local management

Cons

- direction of Canadian operation changes regularly - unrealistic sales targets for community and smaller branches -every sales person has the same targets regardless of where they are located - Sales are micromanaged on a weekly basis
