Pros

Manulife FA itself is a good company. But if you join the wrong branch, your career will be stuck and you will be at the mercy of your director.

Cons

Exodus Capital branch in Manulife FA is a toxic work environment. The director, rules with an iron fist and only wants people to follow his way. If you give a differing opinion, he will get angry and rage against you; even over the smallest things. He makes alot of empty promises to entice you to join him but after you join, he does a 360 degree change and punishes you at his whim and fancy. He also stopped my colleague from promoting as that would affect his own overriding earnings and he rather stump his employees career progression. Upper management cannot do anything about this as he is a Director and Directors are all powerful in the firm. If you have a choice, join any other branch in Manulife instead of Exodus Capital.

Pros

Great benefits and nice communication across different teams. Access to perks of a large company (HR support, benefits, PTO). Very established firm in the marketplace.

Cons

Slightly below market salaries and little room to negotiate upward, unless you change job titles. Some managers and execs can be set in their ways or choose the de-risked option, even if there are better or more efficient ways of doing things.
