Pros

CIBC has many great employees and clients.The CIBC brand holds solid history in Canada.

Cons

Unfortunately the leaders in CIBC have a continued history of lack of respect for employees. This is often demonstrated by the non existent training given to employees,as well as the extensive overtime that is still largely donated by an employee. The unreasonable sales targets assigned through a Head Office model often lead to year over non achievement which then leads to non payment of bonuses and low performance ratings including for long tenured valuable employees who have solid work ethics who go above and beyond to serve clients and endeavor to achieve individually assigned targets.

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"
