Pros

The story of Regency is quite inspirational. The company does a good job at acknowledging their employees from the top level.

Cons

What you hear about this company is quite true. Unfortunately, the turn around is extremely high and the moral extremely low. There are a lot of Managers who enjoy throwing their weight around at the expense of the employee. If you have a voice, oftentimes it can be drowned out by big egos and brown-nosers. Extremely conservative and judgmental towards those who are different.

Pros

• Generally good people in leadership • Good work/ life balance, if not in management won't get over worked • If business is doing well therre are perks like gifts and bonuses • There seems to be good loyalty to most tenured employees • Company gives to charities

Cons

• All major decisions made by "board" (aka 6 owners and they are all related) • Still feels like family business a lot of times although there are 300+ employees • Owners feel out of sync with front line/ low level employees that make up majority of company • HR department more about regulations then serving employees/ trying to understand needs • Chairty initiatives pushed heavily • Sadly, you'll probably feel like a fish out of water if you are not a Christian (I do not believe this is intentional, but owners are very forward with there faith and many hires are from they're churches or from one Christian college. I think this can make the culture feel a bit like a clique at times) • Not a lot of accountability at highest levels, though values are pushed down • Often tough to see a career path • Not a lot of freedom to perform/ go above and beyond, though many want to, so ambition gets quickly suffocated • Ownership seems to genuinely believe they run an exceptional company because of things like charity work but they are out of touch and a lot of top talent has left in the last couple years due to being discontent • Difficult to understand structure of exec team..... there are four Presidents and a CEO and COO (founders) who take a lot of time off and are not very acessible even when company is struggling • Owners tend to take things like criticism pretty personally and can be defensive (acting like a mom and pop business) instead of listening.... seems to be easy to get blacklisted, though I stayed in good graces • Just not sure that current executive team is equipped to lead company to next level..... company might have topped out in 2015 • Very slow to make changes (which is sometimes good, and probably better than exact opposite)

Pros

When I went looking for a job, I liked that they had looked at my mature experience in other industries as a positive to help support the younger employees rather than a negative. They went for my character and work values and decided that they could train me on the skills. The dept I worked for doubled their sales over twelve months. I learned that the workplace hasn't changed that much in the last twenty years. There are still the legalists, the gossipers and the overzealous. The company works hard through corporate meetings to dispel negative behaviors and as they are sincere people, it has a good effect. The health benefits are excellent for those over 26 living in CA. The formal training was professional and demonstrated that they cared about their customers and the knowledge base they should expect from anyone that comes into contact to represent their business. This is a good company to use as a "jumping off" platform for any person that needs to transfer their skills due to downsizing or a new college graduate.

Cons

There's minimal cons. This isn't a company that rewards individual achievement so if you think that you will be appreciated or need that type of recognition, you won't get it often. I don't like that kind of thing unless it is a financial reward! It's a family owned business-remember that and look into the pros and cons of working for one. If you don't like that type of business model, then you shouldn't work for this company. You may think that it doesn't have that much affect on your work, but one day it will. Don't get upset or angry if you knew it was going to happen. The pay grades are very conservative. If you are under 26 years old and live in CA and can still be covered under your parents insurance, there's no flex plan to divert the funds for your coverage into another area, or just get it as a pay out to your salary. There are long time employees that have camped themselves there and can be challenging to work with.
