Pros
Great for a fresh graduate or a stepping stone to get into a financial industry. Turn over rate high, always hiring.
Cons
If you look forward to an annual $500.00 annual increase regardless of your starting salary, small annual bonus. You talk to your clients about inflation, when your own salary would never catch up to it. You would make more doing backoffice work elsewhere. They would only pay for IFIC and will not pay for CSC. even though you are required CSC to be license for IROC for imperial service if you want to advance. Limited career movement due to branch politics. Of course if your parents work for the higher up management in CIBC, you would have advancement opportunity. Never seen so many negative comment for this comment. If you want higher salary apply for RBC and TD.
