        Pros

        Great office environment that includes fun social activities both during and outside work hours. Great atmosphere making it not seem like work.

        Cons

        Can get competitive as teams compete for individual clients. Definite sense of divide between support staff and Investment Advisers as could be expected. Nothing major and I would definitely recommend to a friend.

                Cons

                Low job level within CIBC with low base salary. Commission top-up from advisors can vary depending on the team you work with. The job description is not consistent throughout the branch , each team is unique and have their own way of working.

                    - Friendly staff - New office in the downtown core is nice - Work is relatively easy - Flexible hours - Minimal stress

                    Cons

                    - Lack of direction of where the department is heading - Many contract workers who do not get renewed or changed to permanent due to the lack of direction - Little to no advancements within this title or particular position, pretty much dead end

                    Has anyone successfully moved from vendor to manufacturer without prior manufacturer experience? How did you sell yourself? What were your reasons for switching? Thank you!

                    Accountant

                    I'm currently in a job (< 3 months) that I plan on leaving out (background, resume, mentions during interview) but one common question is "when can you start?" I don't want to tell them about my 90-day stay (very toxic, looking for an out), but don't want to find myself in a bind down the road either (picked up by background check, needing extra time to start so I can give my 2 weeks, etc.) My prior job was 9 months long and don't want to be a job hopper either so a little stuck here.

                    QC Specialist II

                    When someone says “We are eager to fill this position, we have no timeline but it should not drag out,” what are the chances I’m selected? This was at the third round interview, last Tue (5d ago) when I was told I should hear from HR next. The job was posted 30+ days ago. I applied for it on 10/22 and the interview process started 11/6 with an HR screening phone call.
