Pros

I participated in a ad-hoc group that focused on making work life better at Regions. Some of the most popular surveyed results were implemented.

Cons

Racism is built into the dna of America. If we choose to ignore it, then we are never going to fulfill the promise of the Civil Rights Act. Certain people want to be blind to the economic consequences of racism and homophobia; well I cannot be blind to it because it is a part of my everyday life. My manager that I worked for embodies the qualities of Jim Crow’s past and present. He constantly showed that there were different rules for white people. He constantly made up reasons based upon metrics that he just pulled out of the air to justify his disparate treatment. His manager allowed such treatment such as when he called me stupid in a meeting. He even saw me walking down the hall and said you know it is not over. I even went over his manager's head and said that there is something wrong with the way my manager was treating me. Nothing happened. I took a SANS class and passed the certification exam and a white person took the same class and did not pass the exam, yet they were promoted. He constantly complained about my performance when other groups were praising the same performance.

Pros

The Culture, the people, the atmosphere are OUTSTANDING- there really is a feeling of camaraderie and "can do" attitude in every person I've met here.

Cons

None so far, if anything, perhaps a tendency to plan a bit too ambitiously- but it definitely seems to steer the ship in the right direction.

Pros

The overall bank culture - they truly show that they value their employees, and fully vested in ensuring that is communicated and shown. I was completely impressed with my onboarding experience, and each day since my start date reaffirms that I made the right decision in accepting their offer. I could immediately tell that they invested in providing adequate tools to make our job functions efficient. There is also a large array of Learning & Development modules that are available to enhance your career. They are always sending out surveys to obtain feedback from the employees about their experience whenever they may have to engage with another area. The atmosphere has also been very welcoming and everyone seems so genuinely happy. They have provided me with a work life balance and good benefits. Regions definitely has identified the ingredients that I believe factor into why one would describe them as a great place to work. If the employees feel appreciated and are happy, it resonates. Its that kind of attitude that will be naturally also extended to our customers because its a embedded culture. I enjoy getting up and going to work everyday because I feel as if I am now working for a company that values the people they employ - and also care about how that also positively impacts their customers.

Cons

I can see that there are some gaps whereas one area may not fully understand what is going on in another - and because of that there may be some unnecessary overlap.
