SCOTIABANK Employer Reviews

The work days at Scotiabank are wonderful! The mornings may be a little rushed to get everything accomplished, but once you've got a hold of the day's balance, everything falls into a nice even pace for the rest of the day. The full days seem short and before you know it you're at the weekend.

Meet lots of people but job as a teller was a starter role and management did not want to help move up the chain

I liked working at Vinci Park, because we got to have our own booths, and work at our own pace and in our own personal space. We had to multi-task and do multiple assignments at one time.
I got to use knowledge by adding and subtracting in the booths for the cash float, and having to do addition, subtraction and multiplication for our cash floats at – more... the end of the night. Worked with large cash floats some night up to $3000 a night. – less

I loved every bit of this job, the environment, my co-workers everything and everyone was very professional and friendly. On a typical day I would direct all incoming parcels, manage switchboard, and provide information for new and regular guests. I learned the power of organization and memory, I had to be on top of everything at all times. Management – more... was great they answered all the questions I had as well as teach me everything I needed to know. Being on top of everything was quite hard as there were a lot of things to remember and do. The most enjoyable part was meeting new people coming in and out of the building, I love to help people so it was a bonus being able to get everyone around physically and through phone calls. – less

Awesome place to work! Meaningful interaction with guests.

Close with senior staff, work can be tough during fiscal year end

Terrible pay, good environment.

Scotiabank does a good job of making you feel welcome and a part of a team. I have been in 4 different departments over the last 2 years as a part of a management program, but can honestly tell you it is fraught with politics and the pay is very very low, regardless of how hard you work or the qualifications you have.

Data Entry
Sending Out Client Documents
Balancing Accounts

I managed a staff of 12 people in a branch. My day consisted of overseeing reports, making financial decisions, interviewing clients, making sure the branch ran smooth and with budget guidelines. I was responsible for credit decisions and clients portfolios.

Scotiabank is a great place to work for. Great benefits and opportunities to grow or expand your career.

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

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.

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

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.

I WAS IN CHARGE OF THE PROVINCE AND THERE HAD A FAIR AMOUNT OF FREEDOM TO ARRANGE MY OWN SCHEDULES WITHOUT INTERFERENCE FROM MANAGEMENT PROVIDED GOALS WERE BEING MET. INVOLVED A FAIR AMOUNT OF TRAVEL.

Part of the Integration Team after the acquisition of RG Premier Bank, a competing financial institution.
Develop client relationships by providing adequate services without affecting bank and regulatory policies, procedures, and impact risk structure.

great plece to work I like to help people to make their dreams came true
