Do Big 5 drug test?

Hey guys, current first year analyst at a smaller Canadian boutique shop. Have an interview for a lateral position at a Big 5 bank coming up. I don't smoke a lot but have recently.

Do the Big 5 or other larger Canadian banks generally drug test new hires?

Thanks

I love how your SN is "chillbro" and you're worried about getting caught smoking reef.

That said, noone I know from my school working at Big 5 is getting tested.

Thanks IG. Is that for FT or SA?

Haha yea it is slightly ironic. I don't use the forum a whole lot so I didn't put much thought into my name to be honest.

Hadn't actually smoked for about a year, starting a couple months before I started FT for this exact reason. Never ended up getting tested.

This interview was kind of unexpected so I feel like a bit of an idiot going all that time and then being in the exact position I was trying to avoid.

Can anyone else way in?

Ya I feel your pain. I was in a hairy sitch with a drug test myself in the past.

Actually works man. I suggest you buy it if you're worried you'll be tested.
