Safe environment when you want Work Life Balance

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Benefits (health and dental), Safe Employment as they can lost 10s of millions of dollars but they dont need to lay people off, Dont need to work all that hard to do your job. Excellent opportunities for WOrk Life Balance. Easy to look good as there are so many incompetent people.

Cons

Management changes often and thus direction gets changed often. There are a lot of incompetent people that can hide in this organization rather than be dealt with like in other organizations - this can be really demotivating for the good performers. They love to hire outside consultants who come in and check on their managers ability to make decisions

Bank most likely to walk into a sharp object

Manager, commercial banking

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent benefits, face time not an issue.

Cons

Where do I begin - bank named "most likely to walk into a sharp object" by well-known local journalist - always seemed to be some scandal blowing up (Enron, customer info being faxed to random 3rd parties, mutual fund trading scandals, etc) that made it hard to present CIBC as an institution with inegrity, lowered morale; management obsessed with process over results, and an unhealthy obsession with 2x2 matrices; people who didn't understand banking or client service put in charge of the commercial bank, coming up with ridiculous strategies to 'grow the business' (which immediately shrank the business). Lots of people around you with hands up for a package.

The banks reputation within the consumer market place. Slow to bring in new products and technology for the consumer users.
