Pros

Decent work-life balance. Nice facilities and moderately competitive pay. Employee appreciation week is normally a really fun and well-planned time. 401(k) match is not bad.

Cons

I am a past employee but spouse is current employee. Management and mid-level associates have a tendency to be lazy and unaccountable, and this has always been the case. Company will hire cheap unexperienced back office folks but randomly freeze hiring later. Health plans after 2015 were quietly changed to this absolutely god-awful high deductible plan that covers nothing. They want you to get the more expensive Advantage plan. 401(k) is a big push to get you to buy RF stock. Right now they are embarking on the “Simplify & Grow” initiative, which is nothing more than making junior members of the good ole boys club feel important and make layoffs seem like they can be avoided. While tax reform prompted lots of big companies to give all employees a $1000 bonus, Regions further watered down health benefits, and the C-suite executives cashed out 500,000 shares of RF stock.

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.
