SCOTIABANK Employer Reviews

my co workers were great but scotia bank in general does not respect you as an employee.

A typical day at my job involves preparing collateral documents for different business customers, completing annual reviews on businesses to ensure that we have all the required security in place for their current credits and/or new credits. This requires attention to detail, efficiency, accuracy, organizational skills, decision-making skills and time – more...  -management skills. The most enjoyable part of this job is that there is always something new I learn everyday which keeps things interesting and challenging.The hardest part of my job is probably the learning curve, it takes a long time before one can perform the job well without assistance from co-workers and supervisors.The management in my department is very helpful and supportive. – less

A great place to work, nice enviroments, coworkers, and management team. I loved it because there was always something new for me to do and I learned a lot. I had to work out situations in which clients were not happy and others that were.

Nothing has changed in its culture since the 80's
Computer system outdated
low pay
expect way too much from employees for the pay

I enjoyed being employed by Scotiabank ( 1973-1994). I worked at several branches and made alot of friends. The morale for the most part was very good. The salary could have been better...Scotiabank didn't pay well at the time. Incentive programs were in place and your job was secure.

I only worked here for a summer while in school but I enjoyed working there. There was not a high turnover at all, a lot of the employees have been there for ages and they had pretty good benefits. So they reward people who stay with them.

Each day started off with a team meeting, which was nice since it gave and idea of what was going on in each area – more...  of the branch and other branches. Overall I found it had a nice since of community.

What is bad though is that they can transfer you at pretty short notice. I was only on for the summer but full time associates told me that they could be transferred anywhere in the province if the bank deciced they wanted to transfer them. However usually the will only transfer people between branches that are close by.

Like any customer service job there were difficult customers at time, but I worked with really great people who were always willing to help if I have a question.

Since it is a bamk though it is very bureaucratic in nature, which could be frustrating at times but I am sure it is the same at any bank. – less

Exposed to many different cultures and types of customers and ensuring they are satisfied at the end of every transaction.

I have learned a lot from this Institution. Management is very hard to please, so we have to work harder every day (in the good way).

The part I enjoy the most is my co-workers. We are a real team. No matter how overworked we are, we always have room to help each other.

PALCE WITH LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUTURE ADVANCEMENT, ONE TEAM ONE GOAL

Seem to be stilted with emphasis on personal development with customer being of secondary improtance. Communication low with constant threats of termination if targets not met. Yet would not go out and seek the business.

- Always doing what is best for the customer
- Great customer support from staff, advisors, management etc
- Continuously creating and promoting new plans and ideas to help customer advance financially
- Great business hours with convenient location of branches

Scotiabank is Canada's most international bank with extensive Retail Banking presence in the Caribbean and Central America. The projects are very interested as they are relatively new to many of the markets.

Worked for Scotabank for 13 years and decided to stay home with my son and start a small daycare. I miss my job at Scotiabank but at the same glad I stayed home with my son.
