Pros

Solid work life balance, and just tons of really nice, well-meaning people. Excellent benefits, including a DB pension - which is hard to find anywhere, let alone in financial services.

Cons

Heavy sales/BD focus, even for people with strong sales skills. I sort of got the sense that the company had evolved to be more about competing with the big Canadian banks, rather than filling a void in the market that was historically outside of the banks’ risk appetite.

Pros

Great work/life balance. Risk team a bit too conservative given the bank's mandate, but all in all great place to work.

Cons

Fairly limited growth opportunities and most of them are only in Montreal. Critical to speak French in order to grow.

Cons

Management, HR, micromanagement, ghosting! Over push to sell, sell, sell. Bosses are never around to help. Lazy and arrogant boss.
