Cons

Rude co-workers and bosses made it a hostile environment.

Advice to Senior Management

Great people and good innovation

Pros

challenge, wild range, analyze, activities

Cons

satisfactions, environment, working hours, people

Pros

The imperial service in it's truest form is a really excellent offer... It has been diluted and now a visa is as important as a financial plan

Cons

No one wants to hear what needs to be change just do more and hope to gain market share who cares about the employee eexperience.

Pros

Flexible schedule
Lots of locations to apply
Decent benefits
Employee share purchase program
Don't have crazy long operating hours (unlike TD Bank)

Cons

Too many systems to use, and some of them are quite old
Still using dot matrix printers...seriously
Targets are getting a little crazy for 2012, but I doubt this is unique when compared to the other banks.

Advice to Senior Management

Most managers I've worked for are great to work for.

Pros

people friendly, service minded, vacation, and holidays are all there

Cons

salary could be better, or better bonses

Pros

job security and location of work place was good since it was down town, laid back attitude about work in the team i worked for

Cons

too much politics, compensation wasn't too great, but mostly the politics got to be and i quit - not very inclusive team (just my experience)

Pros

good bank to work at, very good attitude. many competitions inside bank. compete makes better.

Cons

there is none so far. good place to work if u live close by. friendly people. good choice

Pros

Ok compensation and good benefits (including stock purchase plan)
Job security
Downtown location is convenient
Free banking a bonus
Tech devices provided (e.g. BB)

Cons

Bank’s reputation is poor compared to competitors and is poorly led at the most senior levels (no vision)
Caustic internal culture (open antagonism between teams)
Work life balance for top performers is not there and contribution not recognized
Very political internally
Overly bureaucratic and risk adverse in areas that don’t matter and not enough in areas that do
Compensation not a good as competitors

Advice to Senior Management

Support and provide recognition to top performers
To the board…sack the CEO and other Sr. Executives and find someone with a vision for growing the business, so it isn’t always a matter of catching up to competitors

Pros

Compensation is strong with a focus on pay for performance in non-branch roles (i.e private wealth & investment banking). Local and regional management is actively involved in day to day activities. Motto would be: people take their work seriously but don't take their egos too seriously

Cons

Outdated technology platform. Both internal and client facing software requires significant overhauls to get into the 21st century. As with all major banks, administration and sales targets create unneeded pressure.

Advice to Senior Management

Spend funds to upgrade key internal software.
Feedback from customers at the branch level speaks to weak customer skills and dedication. Greater focus on retail banking quality of service needed as it is negatively impacting brand image.
