Pros

Friendly and supportive staff/co-workers for the most part

Cons

They expect way to much of you, it's humanly impossible to do all of the stuff that they expect you to do in the time you have alloted to do it. Also, even if you have experience with mortgages and investments you still have to push credit cards which is annyoing. And the pay compared to oil and gas pay in Calgary isn't all that great.

Intense pressure to get Visa applications, outdated software interface that caused a multitude of problems.

Pros

The only good reason to work at CIBC is to get experience to move on to a better banking position.

Cons

Intense pressure to get Visa applications, outdated software interface that caused a multitude of problems. Zero support from immediate management or higher management. They seem to prefer female sheep who will follow rather than a person who is intelligent and can lead. Software was the worst I have seen in any bank. Tellers have no idea what most transactions are. Managements number one solution is to "Call the internal help desk" when an employee does not know how to solve a problem. The software uses codes, hundreds of them, to input things that are simple point and click "windows like" software at other banks I worked at. Constant customer complaints and long customer lines. Why do people still bank there? Because its too much hassle to move accounts once you start. I will never consider a position at CIBC again for any amount of money.
