Pros

Absolutely no pros after working there for 8 years in a mid-management level.

Cons

I have been working for RBC Capital Markets in Toronto for over 8 years. They are treating employees unfairly and all of the marketing they spend to put a facade that employees are treated fairly is incorrect. Be very careful - management has tactics to make your life miserable by working overtime with under staffed departments. We were working 7 days a week and 13 hours a day without compensation for over time. I was kicked out the door after 8 years of exceptional service. Senior management does not care about retention. Over 70% of the employees are outsourced to India. Canadians with full time salaries are being treated horribly so they will leave. This is not how a company should treat its employees. employees?

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.
