Pros

- Difficult to get fired unless you violate the guidelines - Year end bonuses (not guaranteed, based on how much the overall company itself profits) - Limited benefits, up to 80% medical coverage depending on how you spend your credits - RSP matching etc - You get to learn a lot about local businesses and see a lot of... unique individuals. You'll come to learn a lot about them - Advancement can be stable if you're willing to wait years and years, but because client advisors are so sorely needed and understaffed they're less likely to promote you.

Cons

- About 1-2 hours unpaid overtime per day not including the unpaid lunch, - Mandatory all-employee meetings held to congratulate those with high numbers - Competitive and toxic environment that isn't even rewarding for achieving the ridiculous, impossible sales targets - Verbal abuse and risk of physical danger from upset clients, especially during bad economy and generally unhappy events worldwide - Constantly changing policies with too much onus on the role. Client advisors literally do *everything* and have to know everything in a way no other role at the bank does. You are the one safeguarding everyone's money, not anyone above you; and you're barely trained and paid peanuts.

Pros

There weren't any pros really

Cons

- Median age is 60, most people are managers, if you are not a manager you're screwed - Nobody works - If you try to do your job, you will be severely targeted - Due to the above mentioned culture of not working, they hire 3rd party companies like Deloitte to do their work, and these projects usually fail cause they throw thousands of their own managers plus a few select engineers to try to make a project succeed, it never succeeds - Managers spend their 8 hours of day not doing their jobs and targeting employees, organizing useless meetings - Sometimes a project has multiple managers organizing the same meetings because 1 is not enough - Agile is abused
