Business outlook
Pros
Learning state of the art business practices from a high performing shop. Process in place to tutor managers on how to manage (coming from a smaller shop,, this training is so valuable).
Cons
Sink or swim here, a real Darwinian environment. You have it quadruple hard if you come from outside CIBC or another big bank. It takes months to get used to how things work, who/what your resources are... you need to invest time to really become independently competent because people ae too busy to help. And they are hiring like crazy right now...but I also hear they fire like crazy too. Its not a flat organization, very much an active hierarchy even down at the associate/assistant mkt manager/mkt mgr/sr mktg mgr & director)
