Saint Petersburg, FL (US)

Former Employee – worked at Regions Financial full-time for less than a year

ProsRegions has quite an easygoing atmosphere, the sales goals are very manageable, and you will have constant foot traffic. The marketing support received is more than enough, and the technology integration makes getting things done easy.

ConsHard to follow the sales process with so much traffic the way management wants, management can make the goals seem harder than it is contributing unnecessary stress levels. The pay level is low for banking and incentive payouts are low, but at least attainable.

Advice to Senior ManagementBring the pay levels up a bit and provide more continuing training to the branch managers and CSMs on ways to increase sales without the fear factor. My main reason to leave was that I was offered a similar position elsewhere with an almost 30% pay increase.

Hoover, AL (US)

Former Employee – worked at Regions Financial full-time for more than a year

ProsRegions is an overall good place to work. I was promoted after just 8 short months. Nice management, enthusiatic team, and flexible schedule. They are quick to hire entry level individuals.

ConsThe pay is simply not enough for the workload, attitude of the customers, and job requirements of this position. Not much room to advance to management and they are quick to hire and fire.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Regions Financial full-time for more than 8 years

ProsBonuses if your goal is met; benefits

ConsSends you up to 50 miles away from normal branch location to relieve others for lunch and travel way back to your own branch location "ON YOUR OWN GAS"....But policy will not pay mileage unless you drive more than 50 miles one-way. Beware---They are fire happy. I've seen many people fired for small reasons. Stressful work environment. A lot of work for the pay.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
