Pros

-Like any workplace, finding a good work environment at BNS is largely dependent upon the people you work with. I've been lucky and unlucky in that area in 3 jobs within 4.5 years. -Decent overall compensation package, however less than some of the other banks are offering. -Accommodating work environment. -Ability to move positions and advance within the organization does exist, however it requires a tremendous amount of work and patience.

Cons

-Branch-level positions have a high stress level and often do not equate to equal monetary rewards. -Shrinking job opportunities lately with a lot of cuts in the last year. -Management tends to waste time and waste talent.
