Pros

Just another financial Institution like any other

Cons

TD hires externally VERY often for management positions that SHOULD be filled by someone with financial industry experience. The past 3 Manager of Customer Service positions were filled by 19 year old part time sales representatives with little work experience, let alone life experience. Management do not have any clue how to coach, train or even talk to employees. After a conversation with other financial industry professionals at the same level, I can confirm that TD is FAR below the fair line with regard to PAY. It's enough to pay the bills, but other than that, it's extremely poor. Retail and Executive Management want you to liove and breathe TD! The work life balance is poor at best and all they want you to do is think TD. After our last year end meeting, we all had to promise to create fantastic customer experiences - and we all agreed by dipping our finger in ink and pushing it against a poster!!!!!! Think about that for a second...sounds a bit like a cult. Unfortunately, the advisors who get rewarded and recognized at TD are the good Sales People, not the good advisors. I feel very strongly in continuing education and in effective advising of peoples personal finances. I would rather be a successful advisor than a successful Sales person.
