Pros

Once you get in you can stay there all you want

Cons

Scotabank never seem to promote the right people to higher positions. Promotion is only through social connections within colleagues. There is a lot of ethnic biases within the company and each ethnic group tries to promote their own. If you are qualified and skilled you are actually under employed as the hiring managers are intimidated by you
