Pros

It is was a busy branch which meant that I had to work fast and multitask. It was a great way to learn how to deal with different problems in a short period of time while maintaining a sales limit.

Cons

Management did not help come up with solutions to make more sales in the branch. Being that it was a branch with low income customers they did not adapt to meet their needs.

CIBC- The good, the bad, and the ugly

Pros

Overall, CIBC is a rewarding company to start your career at (but not to grow it). Career success here has very little to do with actual performance, driven mostly by networking and relationships built internally. It's important to keep in mind that Retail Banking and HQ are completely different- so you can't clump it into one review. Don't expect to start as a CSR and then move into head office even 4 years later. It's not happening.

Cons

-CIBC spends very little time and money on training and development for their employees. -Unless you have 5 years of experience in your career and are moving laterally into CIBC, the salary is vastly below the market. I've took a lateral move externally and am now making more than my old manager -Very cheap organization for basic things you would expect elsewhere, i.e sponsoring designation renewals, paying for employee recognition, employees have to pay for time out as a group -Too much focus on "thought leadership", but little critical thinking is actually used -Large company focus on diversity, but little to no visible minorities in upper management -High level of micro managing, check ins -Excessive amount of meetings that could have been an email
