Pros

Strong brand name in the Canadian banking industry Access to decent tools and systems to serve clients Some peers and colleagues are collaborative and helpful.

Cons

Management style in certain business banking teams is highly toxic and micromanaged Concerns raised about unprofessional behavior are ignored. No support provided for business development —you’re on your own! Leadership shows little regard for employee well-being or work-life balance, even in cases of medical or family emergencies. Culture of fear rather than collaboration, especially under specific regional leaders!

Horrible place to work

Pros

Work from home is the only good thing about this job

Cons

Horrible management, even worse equipment. They provide faulty equipment and when you face problems they shift the whole blame on you and once they have done it, you’re automatically in the management’s radar and they will pick on you for every little mistake and make your life so miserable that you’re forced to quit because they will close all room for growth

Pros

Great benefits with the basic needs of health and dental well covered. Eligible for pension after 2 years

Cons

Not great for older person who has a lot of work experience and knowledge. Joined CIBC hoping to rebuild a new career (left my previous career behind after stay at home parenthood) Accepted part time role hoping to have it grow into more. Turns Its not what you know but WHO you know. Blatant favoritism& nepotism: Full time opportunities that arose seemed closed off to me and awarded to persons who are closer to management or younger. Inconsistent hours have made it difficult to budget or find a second part time job outside of CIBC to supplement your income, you feel always on call. The post Covid sales pressure to meet goals for compensation or branch recognition has become very difficult to attain, especially within limited hours to try and achieve those goals.
