Pros

match 401k up to 6% but it takes 5 years to become fully vested which no one makes it to, used to be the pay

Cons

RBC paid extremely well when i started in '07 relative to other banks. Then the bottom fell out in '08. During this, a Retail President position was created and a Wachovia exec came on board. Since then virtually all of the branch managers and regional managers have been replaced with his old buddies from Wachovia. The office politics is ridiculous. The goals are ridiculous relative to market share which allowed them to get rid of all of the old "overpaid" employees and replace them with these Wachovia folks. Morale is so low it's amazing anything gets done. The new model is a copy of the cut throat tactics employed at Wachovia during its "hay day". The most stressful environment I have ever had the displeasure of being in. DON'T WORK THERE!!!!!

Pros

Stable work life balance. The culture is really great, very easy to work with complex management and managers. Willing to help you grow and learn with clients

Cons

Not a lot of room for growth unless you come in the door with that expectation. It can be very easy to get stuck in this role as your pay slowly increases and the job title mostly stays the same. Associate promotions and raises are rarely given and take a lot of coercion to get.
