      Caveat emptor

      General manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great brand, good on resume Rest of world does not know about the internal dysfunction. You may acheive job security if you focus on core functions. Knowledge workers are used on 'projects' but not well re-deployed.

      Cons

      Lip service is paid to training. The training budgets are a lot less than the website statements imply. Do not assume that you will get the training you need to progress. Often training budgets are expended on management. Some departments, not all, have a revolving door - after growing/downsizing a dept every 18 months for 8 yrs one might find a better solution. There is a permanent HR team to deal with 're-organization' - it is a joke in the industry.

      CIBC - strong retail network, weak capital markets platform

      Account manager - small business
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - large corporation, good career opportunities, strong retail bank and credit card division. There is a lot of opportunity to move around within the corporation. Management rewards fairly well with strong performance. Pay for education including stock licenses and other relevant courses.

      Cons

      - weakening capital markets platform, penchant for senior management to take higher risks for minimal rewards, limiting comp. The bank has made some American type errors in their corp portfolio and are know paying for it. CIBC world markets used to battle DS for top wholesaler in Canada, those days are for now over. It may be a while until CIBC world markets gets their act together.

      You're better off at TD Canada Trust

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I think this place was atleast a good stepping stone, but an overall sour spot.

      Cons

      bad pay, and horrible computer systems as well as a great deal of backstabbind. You are nothing more than an over stated telemarketer. On the phone everyday desperately clinging and manipulating clients for the next sale.
