Pros

Results and action focussed. Opportunity for progression and international movement is good at all levels 9even quite junior). You can move fast if you keep delivering.

Cons

Not a sympathetic, hand holding environment. It is all about the numbers - there is no sympathy in your bonnus packet just because the currency collapsed, or a customer went bankrupt. People can be a little humourless.

Pros

It's a high achieving place and you're often surrounded by intelligent people. You're encouraged to think differently and take calculated risks - 'can't do it ' is not an option, there's always a solution, I like that philosophy. There's plenty of opportunity to progress fast if you show the right skills, mettle & attitude. You have full ownership of projects which is simulaneously liberating and frightening if you're used to working with people who micro-manage (as I have been previously. It's a very successful business.

Cons

It is quite a serious and tough environment compared to many I've been in - I mean tough in the way that it's constant pushing yourself and your boundaries and the way you approach things. You are left to take the initiative & make your mark yourself - there is no real hand holding and 'slowly slowly' approach which can be a bit daunting at first. It's extremely busy and fast paced, my interpretation of 'fast' changed dramatically here.

Pros

ABMs are given responsibility from Day 1 and are held accountable from that point onwards. Regardless of level, employees are considered an essential part of the team and are expected to contribute to the growth of the business. I've never learned as quickly as I have on the job at RB! Also, RB has strong, dynamic brands that offer ABMs the opportunity to be involved in everything from execution to strategy. Not two days are the same yet they are all fast paced and exciting.

Cons

The culture at RB is strong and not everyone identifies with this type of environment. It is fast paced and decisions are made quickly. For that reason, employees must think on their feet and adapt to change. All opinions matter and all employees are considered key members of the team so if you are someone who hides behind a boss or does not want to be held accountable this early in your career, RB is not the place for you.
