SCOTIABANK Employer Reviews

Work environment is relax, and they provide enough information and business support to work on any project within the bank.

Since I have started work from 1995 to now the line-ups and counter service is very little. I work in a sub-branch with a very small team. I enjoy people and helping people which is what we do every day in this job. I do have severe asthma which causes problems when I get a customer with purfume or aftershave and I want to help them but my chest tightens – more... and can't speak properly to them which is probably the biggest challenge at my current job. The most enjoyable part of my day is when I have a customer who comes to me with a major problem and I fix it for them or refer them to the appropriate officer. – less

Scotiabank is an employer of choice and has been responsible for a great amount of my working knowledge

Great place to work but your burden of work varies from branch to branch.

Good benefits, able to accept change, and with the right manager, a great place to work.

great work enviroment, excellent salary and benefits
the co-works are great, there is always an opne door to help or teach.
the offices are great and comfortable

Working at Scotiabank has been a great experience for me so far. I am part of a very talented team, which has significantly taught me many aspects on the infrastructure side of things. One thing I enjoy about my workplace is my relationship with my team members as well as people outside of my team at Scotiabank.

Great place to work if you're seeking a job. Horrible place to work for those in need of a career. Do not expect any significant pay raises as years go by (formula used to determine this coincidentally favours the company). Employment opportunities are limited to those who are politically privelaged within the organization and hiring practices heavily – more... favour women. The company takes no interest in your personal growth and only cares about meeting the needs of shareholders. – less

Sales role, learned lending/investment. Great management and co-workers. Sales role is somewhat hard. Meeting different clients is enjoyable.

I worked with Scotiabank for four years fulltime and then decided to return to school. They were very supportive of my decision and provided me with an opportunity to return to work during summer vacation and sometimes during winter break. The only thing that I could say that Scotiabank needs to improve is their job security. The process for obtaining – more... full time employment is tedious and makes it difficult for contract employees and/or students to secure full time employment. Working on a month to month basis can be stressful for part time or casual employees. Other than that, it was an excellent place to work, friendly and courteous co-workers and management. Very flexible to ensure that the work/life balance is maintained. – less

It was an amazing experience working for Scotiabank, I would work there my entire life if they had any job openings. i would help sort the cash, help customers with their interactions, and the staff with anything they needed. Every manager and co-worker were just about the best you could have asked for, in both the environment and work sense. The hardest – more... part of the job was remembering codes which got easier over time. I enjoyed every part of working there. – less

Not much to learn after few months. Good to develop peoples skills. Very fast paced environment.

I have been identified as an ambassador of the department and over the last year was recognized with a Best of the Best Award for my hard work and commitment

Can work with many other students. Cafeteria is so so. Also work equipment are outdated.

Call center working night shift, flexible for new students, answer calls regarding bank cards and credit cards

senior staff is always interacting and trying to find new ways to keep employees engaged in their work, they strive for excellence while taking into consideration the needs and happiness of their employees

Dealing wih lots of different people in a fast-paced environment.

I used to come at work a little before 10 am. I would then set up my workstation, make sure I have enought cash for the day, logon to my computer, verify the printer and keyboard were connected properly, and made sure I was ready to start serving clients. Before the door opening, we would usually have a morning "hudle session". chat a bit about assignments – more... of the day, the branck manager would say a few reminders or read interesting notes. During the day, if there was anything unresolved , the collegues and branch manager would be the persons to turn to first to get assistance with. Around noon or 1 pm , we used to watch tv and chat during lunch breaks. – less

This branch was very busy, yet did not train staff very well at all - much was expected without much training :(

To start of the day, I would sign into my phone, log onto my computer and prepare to take calls from customers. There is a pre-determined schedule for breaks to adhere to.

Workplace is very team oriented and have centre wide campaigns that are a lot of fun. However to meet the financial goals and customer results, you must be very self-motivating and – more... must take initiative to achieve monthly results. – less
