good and bad
Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 19 June 2018
Like any job, there are good and bad. For the most part it was the people I worked with that made the good things, I had a team of leaders that I was able to go to about anything and that wanted to see their people move on and doing well.
The bad was some of the people I worked with, they didn't want to be there but had been there so long that it showed.

Derivatives Treasury Officer/ Treasury Officer (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 14 June 2018
The Management lets you take control of your task and they empower you. Coworkers are very friendly and have many friendly social gatherings. The workload is sometimes more than the usual and might stay work late. Sometimes they pay you overtime and sometime they won't (just as a professional courtesy). But all in all, its a cool place to work. I like it!
Pros
Many social gatherines
Cons
Needs more new office stuff
Decent pay, usually busy with ``spicy`` clients
Financial Service Representative (Current Employee) – Halifax, NS – 12 June 2018
In Canada we are not taught anything about finance in school, and it is also considered culturally rude to talk about money or finance openly. Therefore most people don`t know anything about banking, so naturally you will get most clients calling in who are a bit uncomfortable and perhaps a little embarrassed of their lack of knowledge regarding their current financial situation. Long story short, a lot of people will be calling in a bit defensive, but are nonetheless quite easy to diffuse. It is often quite busy and you will frequently be taking back to back calls for your whole shift. Hours are based on seniority, so when you`re new, you can count on getting some not so great hours, the shifts change every 3 months, so your shift is the same for that time period. For example, you could be 4pm - 12am (midnight) Tuesday - Saturday, or 11:30-7:30 Thursday - Monday.
Pros
Learn a lot about banking and finance
Cons
Hours not so great if you`re new, lots of sitting
Strong risk management culture
Director, Business Recovery Planning (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 11 June 2018
Learned a great deal about highly technology enable projects and disaster recovery strategies. Very strict risk controls managed centrally. Each year the CEO ensure everyone participated in simulation training to practice what if scenarios.
Pros
Great team environment to collaborate on projects
Cons
Sink or swim requires you to hit the ground running at all times
Typical Big Bank
Business Consultant (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 8 June 2018
CIBC is a great place to work for the short term but when leadership changes often projects are cancelled or new strategic direction is taken which often leads to re-structuring
Pros
Pay is good
Cons
job security is low
Challenging Place to work at

Financial Service Associate (Former Employee) – Surrey, BC – 5 June 2018
CIBC is an great place to work. You have your yearly income and also receive a bonus at the end of the year based on your achievements. Since CIBC is always changing you just never know when your job might be redundant.
Pros
staff appreciation days with lunch
Cons
not paid enough for the job I was doing
Seems like a good place but really isn't
Incident Manager (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 5 June 2018
They appear to care about all the right things but their actions speak louder than their words. Dated working environment and attitudes. Want quantity not quality work.
schedule is too tightly
Sr. Oracle Consultant/DBA (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 4 June 2018
The projects goes very quickly and not much time for detailed analysis and testing. The manager's plans are usually not discussed with developers and often take long time to do the works.
Pros
Location is very easy.
Cons
long time and too much works
CIBC Sales Specialist
Sales Specialist (Current Employee) – Montréal, QC – 3 June 2018
In a typical day as a Inbound sales specialist
I would promote products to our clients, credit limit increases, new applications for credit cards, credit card upgrades.
Service clients with their credit card day to day needs.
The job is very repetitive... The conditions are good and the managers care about the employees career advancement.
Good job, good pay but very repetitive

Many changes in project direction
Senior Project Manager (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 1 June 2018
The company and staff are wonderful, although it can be very difficult to get things done. The direction also seems to change quite regularly so it is difficult to really move forward.
It was okay...
Financial Services Representative II (Former Employee) – Courtice, ON – 1 June 2018
I worked there as an FSR 2 for over a year. The culture was great, but the work/life balance was an issue, and the income provided for the job was very poor!
Pros
