TD Bank corporate culture is full of fuzzy, happy, politically-correct,
notions that basically communicates "we care about you as an employee".
In reality, noone wants to hear what you really think lest it be
offensive to someone or you rock the boat or trample on one of their
infinite HR policies or rules.
Opportunities for advancement do exist, but are totally defined by the
hiring manager. When a job posting comes open, the hiring manager is
under absolutely no obligation to select the most deserving, hard-
working or qualified candidate and all decisions are final and can not
be appealed, challenged or in any way questioned. The role of the HR
department in the career advancement area is to simply explain the rules
and what's available.
On the bright side, myself and a co-worker did complain once about the
air quality in the office and they immediately called in the building
manager, enviromental testers and a did a whole bunch of tests to tell
us nothing was wrong. When we asked whether the air quality problem
might have been related to the construction crew who were ripping up the
floor above us, they replied that they didn't know there was any
construction going on. But hey, at least they responded !
Regarding diversity, since I'm one of two white males in a department of
14 people, I would say we're a pretty mixed bunch. However, I've noticed
in the years I've worked here noone ever socializes outside of work if
it can be avoided.
On the subject of dress-code, I've observed that men have one and women
don't, since just about anything for women can pass as "business casual"
which is the current official dress-code in our office. The current
women's business fashion fad around here seems to be the bohemian look,
complete with suede vests, pants and tassles. For guys, it's shirt and
slacks, but the turtleneck is definitely making a come-back.
