Pros

Great name to have on your resume; exposure to many aspects of financial services industry. Good benefits (stock purchase plans especially).

Cons

If you're at a branch, hours can be unconventional; may miss things like lunch if it gets busy. Smaller branches have less flexibility regarding vacations because of small teams (need to maintain coverage).

Pros

RBC is a very large and stable company that offers good compensation (but lower than most banks). The work environment is good, and there's lots of opportunity to try several different career paths. You work at one Canada's premier companies with major brand recognition, and for the most part the people are great.

Cons

You need to find the right manager. RBC can be a great place to work, but with the wrong manager it can be very difficult and stressful! They also have very rigid systems and policies in place which is good as it can make the job very easy once you've mastered the system, just don't expect to be able to use personal judgment or think outside the box.

Pros

The best reasons to work for RBC are the benefits and "possible" opportunity to advance into more lucrative position. RBC is the largest company in Canada.

Cons

The systems and incompetent and employs can render frustration. At the retail level, management seems to feel that they are above your level of inteligence. They can be condescending. Also, employees that have been working for the bank for many years but have a position that requires less responsibility and ultimitely less power, will challenge you on every issue. They are usually always wrong. This is frustrating and makes the atmosphere somewhat undesirable.
