Pros

years of disparate patchwork technologies (all trying to run at the same time) lots of work (including after hours and weekend work) train wreck of a senior mgmt team that only looks at scuttling each other to advance. unskilled coworkers who are hanging on until someone notices.

Cons

Zero IT vision or roadmap, becoming dependant on RBC to do everything (which they cannot). Skilled employees leaving on almost a weekly basis Zero accountability to customers/users unskilled ineffective managers at all levels Senior mgrs are terrified of RBC executives and throw you under the bus to save themselves. Chained to the RBC anchor which kills any technology advancement. ZERO morale (not that senior mgmt cares about that). Pay lower than companies 1/3 the size (benefits are ok though).

Pros

Good pay Decent work hours Good work life balance

Cons

Poorly managed place in the controlling side. Senior management is clueless in the controlling side so there is no motivation for anyone to excel. Worse they are transitioning jobs in controlling to Canada. So beware before joining here. Layoffs even though the bank is making money. Layoffs even for folks rated outstanding. Not because the bank is not making money. But because Toronto is cheaper. Problem I see folks in Toronto can't compete with folks in Wall Street. Management doesn't see that way though. Hope the us government makes them aware that there is a cost of doing business in us.

Pros

excellent training, benefits starts right away (not sure if it's still the case), 3 wks vacation to start, great wage for entry level jobs, great coworkers, great managers, lots of fun!! very tolerant unless you make a HUGE mistake. always encourages us to learn new things, try new roles. not too much politics.

Cons

the wage is only great for entry level positions (CSRs) but when you move up to e.g. account managers the pay is too little for the effort you put in cuz the sales pressure is high. moving directly up (e.g. CSR to acct manager to senior acct manager) isn't too too hard IF you do great with sales but if you want to change departments it's a little tougher. and for higher level positions you really need to know people. also the annual raise is so little it's not even funny. most of us rely on the bonus, which is based on both your personal and the team achievements.
