Pros

Great way to get into banking if that is what you are looking for. It is the one bank that seems to hire people with little to no financial experience or background.

Cons

Instead of firing dead weight, they promote them to management. Try to keep their top performers at the retail level rather than helping them get to where they should be in financial management (I was personally held back from taking my CSC to become a Financial Advisor - which was my goal all along - because I was performing so well at the retail level). Harassment of customers by outbound calling. Terrible compensation when you overachieve your goals with little to no recognition.

Pros

The NY location is close to Grand Central Station

Cons

Slow Canadian culture that finds it challenging to meet US regulatory standards. Executives play favorites and gaslight employees, if you voice your opinion, they either silence you or try to manage you out with exaggerated "performance issues"
