Listen to feedback

Pros

Very good work life balance. Usually 8~5 working hour. People are nice and easy to get alone with. location is good.

Cons

not good IT system. 3 level bank. The management level people think their target is number 3 in any area (not like other bank wants to be number one!)

Advice to Senior Management

No too much I can say about it. Please keep the work and life balance, that's what attract people here!

Pros

The salary and benefits are good, they give you opportunities to learn and develop skills. The atmosphere is very comfortable.

Cons

I was in a small room that I shared with four other people. It became quite crowded at noisy at some points but overall there isn't many bad things to say about Scotia Capital.

Pros

team work, good experience, a lot of training and learning oppotunities

Cons

lack of managment skills, does not know what employee needs

Pros

There might be some space for learning, if you are a person who cares about environment more than the job you will find it horrible.

Cons

People ignore you all the time. They are nice when you talk to them but that's about it. What really happens is that they are nice to you in front but talks behind your back. Unreasonable personal complains goes to management and gets splashed onto you without a chance to explain. It is bad to have someone talk behind your back and it is even worse to be unable to find out who it is and gets the blame anyway.

Advice to Senior Management

Need more interaction between employees. Waving and saying "hello" or "good bye" when someone enters/leaves the office would be nice for a change. Management needs to step up and solve problems and conflicts between employees and not just dump it on the one who's the victim.
