Pros

Large financial instituion in the South, was a strong employer in Birmingham. People at legacy Regions were wonderful, really looked to take care of one another. There was a lot of pride in Birmingham to be part of the banking industry.

Cons

Not much career advancement, a lot of bank envy for larger, more sophisticated banks. The will to have a brand and be perceived like the Charlotte banks was there, however the infrastructure was not. Technology was the shining star of legacy Regions, but this investment has been diminished after the merger with Amsouth. The bank is not willing to invest in people or infrastructure enough to make Regions any more than a regional bank.

Pros

Dedicated coworkers and supportive team members in my department. Great team and manager to work with and to be on. It’s been a good experience in banking operations and compliance.

Cons

Return to work expectations aren’t the same for everyone. Hard to understand where work-life balance fits in after years of successfully remote work. Now it feels like employee concerns are heard but not always considered and this change to come will impact routines, responsibilities, plus much more that many employees have built over the years.
