Pros

The hours were great 815-515 m-f. Benefit package was good, vacation time was good. If you are from Canada, RBC is one of the only banks in the southeast that does crossborder banking to link accounts.

Cons

They make decisions on emotions versus facts, I was let go for a client abusing his account that I opened 2 months prior even though I followed policy and procedure/protocol....and I was one of their top bankers. They are also laying off left and right so unless you are a peon you are in trouble of losing your job...they call it restructuring. Don't trust anyone even if they are nice to you, it is all cya and throwing people under the bus to save themselves when things arise no matter what it is or even if it involves you or not.

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.
