CIBC – “A lot of potential if only .....”

Pros

Advisor Bonus can compensate for base salary. Company Bonus is low.

Cons

Constant re-organization of company policies result in a disorganized [and confusing] work environment. Poor training but access to lots of information (i.e., can "train yourself"). Organizational structure results in situations where "the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing" resulting in valuable time wasted. Penny wise, pound foolish. Annual Salary increases do not match cost of inflation. Employee morale very very low due in part to lack of respect provided by management. Employee reviews do not seem to be related to quality of work, rather reviews tend to be subjective.

Advice to Senior Management

Incorporate philosophy of Integrity, Honestly, Fairness, & Flexibility with employees. Managers should offer guidance and support instead of deflecting and blaming employees.
