The problems with this branch are 100% related to the manager. He's a weird egotist, never wrong, and chock full of DEI initiatives. The lineup for this branch is always long, because they hire unqualified people (women), and only ever have one teller open. Be prepared to stand out in the cold some days, and EVERY customer knows this. Try complaining to Scotia headquarters, and their DEI specialist will tell you that you are a stupid person for not behaving like that cattle you are.
Check out the google reviews of this particular branch. It's eye-opening. They tried to counter the bad reviews by having their staff leave positives, but you can tell because most of them can barely put together a coherent sentence. The negatives still dwarf these by quite a margin. Overall just a terrible company that doesn't understand what role they are supposed to be playing in the world, and believe they don't need customers to survive. I do wonder what effect DOGE will have on them, as I cannot see that woke Canadian banks weren't getting incentives from somewhere to turn on their customers. read more
