Pros

There are several "best" reasons to work for RBC Bank. First, our benefits are Wonderful and very affordable compared to other companies. Second, there are so many departments within the bank which provides us the opportunity to learn and grow within the "same" company if we choose a new path. Third, the pay is competitive with the market for related positions. Last but not least, RBC is located around the world so there should be opportunities in the event someone needs to relocate! Great place to work!

Cons

There is no specific downside related directly to RBC Bank. Even though RBC is a great place to work, it still has "drama" within all departments. Of course, this is with any company. It does seem that certain departments get more support for initiatives and ideas than other departments. This has been expressed as one side of the bank being the "Dark" side of the bank.

Pros

Industry leading compensation, benefits, and work/life balance initiatives have consistently placed RBC as one of the best companies in Canada, if not the world, to work at. Time and time again, I've seen great things from RBC in terms of their human resources management. Due to the large size of the organization, career opportunities and paths are limitless and no opportunity is denied to the right candidate. The corporate culture is supportive of self-improvement and those who wish to succeed will, while those who wish to work in the same job for a long period of time can also do so.

Cons

While being at a large company means that there are many more opportunities for advancement, it can also mean that at times, certain jobs can be very narrowly focussed. This can be a challenge for people who like variety, however, it does create an opportunity to hone certain expertises. Also, being a large company, creativity and independence can be somewhat stifled. Good, progressive ideas can become lost in the mass entanglement of corporate politics. This, however, is not a negative atmosphere, just one with competing priorities. There is no air of maliciousness whatsoever to this fact of reality. There is also a disconnect between head office and the RBC branch network which I feel can at times limit career opportunities for people working in the branch network.
