Pros
Great benefits and work life balance
Cons
Living in the past. Some employees are promoted into roles they shouldn't be given. A lot of unqualified candidates climbing the corporate ladder.
Advice to Management
Be aware of who is capable, and don't overwork them. There are so many incapable employees hiding at CIBC and they're not expected to do as much, so capable and hardworking employees are given more work with greater expectation.
