Pros

Locations close to where you live.

Cons

Very low base pay and bonus. No sales commission paid to employee even though TD receives commission on your sales. I regularly place business with an insurance carrier that pays 4.5% commission on its products. When I write a $100,000 fixed annuity the company receives $4500 and I get nothing. I have earned the company more in commissions than I have received in pay in my 15 months at the bank. Upper management refuses to promote you if you voice any displeasure toward the unfair compensation plan even if you outperform all others with the same job title. They would rather promote someone drinking the green Kool-Aid with much lower production than a big hitter with 9 years of industry experience who doesn't agree with the pay plan. The company has only run the financial representative program for about 3 years and they still don't know what they're doing. Most of your day is spent not doing insurance and investments -- making debit cards, printing statements, helping with branch operations. If you have experience elsewhere, this is not the place to be. I only took the job because of an extenuating personal circumstance that required me to be close to home. Now that the circumstance has resolved itself, I will not continue to work for a company that doesn't reward results.

Pros

The only way I could do that was if you had to do a lot more work and then you would be done by yourself so you would be fine yuyyy

Cons

The only way I could do this would probably take about two 2️⃣ hours or less of a break and a few

Pros

Wish there was some to share.

Cons

Working in Talent Acquisition here was one of the most frustrating experiences of my career. The culture felt incredibly toxic, with management frequently creating an environment where employees’ concerns were dismissed or reframed in a way that made them question their own experiences. Communication lacked transparency, expectations changed constantly, and support from leadership was minimal. Hiring decisions often felt inconsistent, with factors outside of merit seemingly carrying more weight than skills and qualifications. As someone in TA, that made it difficult to feel confident in the integrity of the recruitment process. Management created a culture of fear rather than collaboration. Feedback was rarely constructive, accountability was one-sided, and employee well-being did not appear to be a priority. Morale was consistently low, turnover was high, and it was difficult to see a path for growth.
