Pros

Normal Pros for any bank job.

Cons

Micromanagement!! Toxic Culture. I have been in banking for many years. Working at Regions made me completely change my career path. It deeply affected me. Everyone there is miserable. The upper management are sleazy, lying, tyrants. Nothing you do there is ever good enough. Oh, you’re hitting 22k in points? That means nothing because your Guided Discoveries aren’t averaging enough per day so we’ll put you on a coaching plan and make EVERY interaction with a customer be subject to manager review. You’re a licensed banker but having to work the teller line all day so your outbound calls aren’t averaging 25 a day? Reprimanded. Coaching plan. You’re a failure. By the way, completely broken calling system. For my 2 years they just kept saying “yes we are aware there are issues”...you get the same exact leads everyday! (Also, in 2 years never heard if ANYONE getting a promotion...plenty of demotions though) Yes, this place is toxic. Trust me, I’m not just some rogue disgruntled former employee. Everyone there shares this sentiment. Before leaving, I reported several major violations my regional manager had been committing. Nothing was done. This person repeatedly lied to me, then threatened me, transferred illegitimate points to “their hires”, and the final straw was they wanted to pull me out of the branch on a day we were short staffed to go make “monitored calls” to customers...despite the fact that 3 weeks into the quarter I already had 9k in points, not even counting a pending private wealth referral. Why? Because nothing is ever good enough, and all they care about is spreadsheet management and exerting control over you. Working at Regions made me want to never work for any corporate job ever again.

Pros

HR is easily accessible. Some managers may be on your behind about work even though there are easier methods. Some managers with criticize you in front of other employees.

Cons

We have to use five of our vacation days consecutively so they can audit us. We aren’t assigned Saturday shifts close to our home, so some people have to drive farther for 3 hours of work (no mileage). Managers are hit or miss. PE can be affected by location, so try to get a good location.

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.
