      One of the kind organization in West Coast Canada with limited career path

      Senior finance manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great people to work with. Lots of learning opportunities and internal transfer opportunities but no way up since the Bank is getting flatter and moving senior jobs overseas.

      Cons

      Lay offs and off-shoring jobs are constant topics nowadays. Hard to find next job once leave the bank unless you move to Toronto or New York.

      Vice President

      Vice president -- capital financing
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Applicable only to the Capital Financing team in NY -- work with great people and hours are reasonable once you've reached VP title. 6% 401k match, 25 days vacation, cheap health insurance options with 90% coverage.

      Cons

      Too much politics, run by London so you have to be British, base pay freeze for last 5 years even with promotion, they pay market value to newcomers but don't bump up pay for loyal current employees, lots of layers of people that make the org structure cumbersome and complex (reminds me of the government), not a meritocracy even if you increased p&l you won't get paid for it.

      Not a customer or employee friendly bank

      Senior manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits and good opportunity for someone looking to get into banking and learn from the ground floor.

      Cons

      Limited opportunity to advance, too many employees for a long period of time, lack of a culture that supports personal growth.
