Good experience especially for first job

Great atmosphere with good management although it depends on the managers you're under. Able to travel internationally for project, however the pay could be boosted.
Not in business anymore for a good reason

Operations Specialist (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 7 May 2018
The department I worked in was a very experienced with many long time employees (several had 20 to 30+ years). There was not much opportunity for advancement within the department as it was quite small.
Good pay / good balance
FCR (Current Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 2 May 2018
Good pay / good balance. However if you are looking to make a difference with your career / life, this is not the place for you.
You may have the chance to work with a good team but if not, HIGHLY Bureaucratic. It'll feel like you're just a cog in a machine.

Productive and fun work place
Commercial On-Boarding Officer (Former Employee) – Burnaby, BC – 14 April 2018
My day contributes to multitasking by answering emails, calls and approving pending applications. If there are corrections or stipulations I need completed by our ASM team I reach out to them . I ensure compliance and policies are all met while adjudicating applications. I have learned lots and continue to learn as my time progresses here. Such as becoming an expert at reading Equifax and Trans Union. I am excellent with excel and other Microsoft software. My speed on approving loans while ensuring all due diligence is met is great too. I continue to enhance in my education as I am currently enrolled in the CFA level 1 . The hardest part about this job is when I am declining applications knowing the customer is in need of the loan but does not meet requirements. I enjoy my work life balance by being able to focus at work but also during breaks be able to enjoy down time in our quiet room or engage in fun activity in the games room.
Procuctive and fun place to work, have a kitchen and lunch room

Work life balance
Consultant (Former Employee) – Burnaby, BC – 6 April 2018
There is an issue in worklife balance in HSBC as management sometime expect from you to sit late no matter what.
If your manager is there, you need to be there also.

Average Job
Personal Banker - Willowdale, Ontario (Current Employee) – Willowdale, Ontario – 5 April 2018
Handling customer's daily personal banking needs. A strong emphasis in compliance (particularly in KYC, AML), which is good in developing communication and analytical skills. However, it is a very cut-throat environment as the system is quite behind from other key competitors.
