Pros

Great benefits and onsite daycare is practically unheard of elsewhere. Daycare is what makes most people stay longer than they would like to. People are also great and there's a chance at making life long friends here.

Cons

The culture was what I loved about working at RB and the people. However, during my time it has went from feeling like family to more cut throat. People without proper experience were being promoted and people started to leave en masse. The CEO has mentioned having a "Wall of Shame" to try and "encourage" sales people to do more. Not a culture I want to be in. There is very little room for moving up and the salary offered here is not competitive. A lot of people (including myself) have experienced quite a dramatic salary increase since leaving. Pay is also not equal compared to our US counterparts in the same positions.

Thank you for sharing your comments. We knew our merger and acquisition efforts over the last few years, welcoming hundreds of new RB teammates, would see our culture evolve. We put in place an Executive Culture Committee and we've been working strategically to ensure the best elements of our culture are supported while new elements can also flourish. For example, innovation is a key culture element of who we are today but requires us to think, act, promote and recognize differently. This is not something that will change overnight but an exciting journey and we strive to support every single employee along the way.

Pros

The work was interesting; travel opportunities. Decent office downtown. Occasional catered lunches.

Cons

Massively toxic work environment. Worst coworkers in the world. Literal fraud, SH & SA coverups, and illegal activities, but if you hit their quotas and have no integrity, apply - you’re gold for them.
