      Positive Outlook
      Approves of CEO

      I have been working at Scotiabank full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Scotiabank is a leading bank in the Americas. The bank has strong presence in Latin America, having the main base in Canada. Work-life balance (I'd term it 'Work-Life Integration') is ensured here in such a way, employees feel pride to say 'We are Scotiabankers'.

      Cons

      Pay structure is not too bad but it needs further review, making it more competitive.

      Advice to Management

      Please continue the current trend of treating employees with humane attitude. People really feel proud to recognize themselves as Scotiabankers. A bit more competitive perks will make employees' lives more comfortable.
