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.

Pros

The NY location is close to Grand Central Station

Cons

Slow Canadian culture that finds it challenging to meet US regulatory standards. Executives play favorites and gaslight employees, if you voice your opinion, they either silence you or try to manage you out with exaggerated "performance issues"
