Pros

Nice building with with a good cafe

Cons

I worked as an intern at the main RBC insurance HQ in Mississauga. Nobody spoke to me in the small office, I was never formally introduced. Once I heard the manager say, "who let this kid in here?" as he walked to the meeting room. Instead of mentoring me (and the other students who worked there) they simply ignored us completely. We made lots of telemarketing calls and that was it.

Pros

Dealing with clients can be rewarding, work life balance

Cons

Mgmt favours senior employees at expense of others. Opinions and suggestions on process changes not accepted, live with it attitude.

Pros

Friendly positive and fun culture. Lots to get involved in outside of your job. The people are great. The well known name and reputation of RBC adds value to your resume. Perks of a free bank account.

Cons

Can't move up in a reasonable amount of time: youre pretty much stuck in your job for at least 3-5 years (even in entry level roles) after which you're offered the most minor promotion (2k increase). Almost impossible to move to a different entity of RBC even after years of experience. Pay sucks, below industry average. You're better off getting a years worth of experience and leaving elsewhere especially for young people who are well educated and looking to GROW their careers, not stay stagnant for years as tellers/call center reps. Don't join the company thinking "its a foot in the door" because you aren't even allowed by hr to apply for other jobs internally for at least 2 years, preferably 3. So unless you join the company in a role you would be happy to stay in for a while, you're going to be miserable day in and day out counting down the days til two years is up, after which, any type of movement isn't even guaranteed.
