Pros

In terms of student experience, I believe that working in a corporate environment is actually a very good thing. You get to learn many aspects of the industry on a larger scale.

Cons

While there are great aspects about working in a corporate environment, there is less exposure into other areas of your field since the job positions are much more specific. You rarely get the experience other roles, unless requested by managers.

Advice to Senior Management

I believe that RBC is a great place to work for all students wanting experience, however, I think it would be great if students had the opportunity to shadow other positions, even for a day, on other roles within their field.

Pros

Is a recvognized company that support their employees

Cons

Sometimes you can have a heavy workload

Pros

Enjoy working from home and flexible working schedule.

Cons

career advancement is limited and development team is too fat with many unnecessary staffs.

Advice to Senior Management

Compensation and promotion should base on the knowledge and skill set not the years works for the company.

Pros

Excellent Place to Work. Lots of opportunity for advancement if you prove yourself in current role. Available training for career shifting or re-allignment of skills.

Cons

Difficult to "manage out" problem employees. The company makes it difficult to remove problem employees bu giving them TOO much athority within the structure.

Advice to Senior Management

Continue to look for innovative ways to improve processes. Just because we are in a old financial institution does not mean improvements can not be made with technology.

Pros

The organization isn't about to go into chapter 11

Cons

Lack of respect from senior management, you are pigeon holed into your role and no room to expand and show what your true skills are.

Advice to Senior Management

Get functional people into appropriate positions, stop with the re-org's as this appears to be just moving bad managers into new positions to poisen the waters for another group of people.
