Pros

Regions Bank has very nice hours, and paid holidays, they also have very flexible vacation time. Those are the ONLY pros that I can think of.

Cons

Regions has to make up $300,000,000 in the next year. That being said, they are forcing all of their workers to push loans on every customer. Traffic is down 40% in all of the branches since 2008 so because of that, they are making their platform bankers perform cold calls to all existing customers to try and convince them to come in for a loan. Not only do you have to call these people and beg them to come in, you have to go over a financial map with them over the phone. (You HAVE to do it the "Regions way") or you will be coached and eventually written up. They also set unrealistic sales goals . These goals go up every year while they make the products worth less each year. This means you will work twice as hard to obtain any type of commission (which is also a joke). Lastly, Most of your training is web based ,after that you pretty much sink or swim. So you are never properly trained to do what they want you to do. I will be quitting very soon. I also heard they are laying off 260 employees to save money.

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.
