Pros

match 401k up to 6% but it takes 5 years to become fully vested which no one makes it to, used to be the pay

Cons

RBC paid extremely well when i started in '07 relative to other banks. Then the bottom fell out in '08. During this, a Retail President position was created and a Wachovia exec came on board. Since then virtually all of the branch managers and regional managers have been replaced with his old buddies from Wachovia. The office politics is ridiculous. The goals are ridiculous relative to market share which allowed them to get rid of all of the old "overpaid" employees and replace them with these Wachovia folks. Morale is so low it's amazing anything gets done. The new model is a copy of the cut throat tactics employed at Wachovia during its "hay day". The most stressful environment I have ever had the displeasure of being in. DON'T WORK THERE!!!!!

Pros

Riverside around WTC is pretty nice

Cons

OMG the worst company I've ever been. There are a lot of small groups inside the department, and most of them are mean and rude.
