Pros

The most important reason to work for this company is experience.

Cons

Micro-managed. Truly a sales invironment with no real desire to do what is right by the customer. Trying to overly leverage customer relationships through aggressive sales tactics is becoming the industry norm.

Pros

The compensation is fair in the current marketplace, and benefit package is better than most. There are many locations, and transferring between them due to moving or other life changes is fairly simple. Equipment and software is cutting edge, and makes work easy. Training occurs often and is well done, so understanding your job duties is simple, even with the rapid fire changes in the finance industry.

Cons

This company is the proverbial 'old boy network'. If you are male, played sports in college, and are of a certain predominant race and socio-political class, then you will catch on fire moving up the ladder, it goes so fast. If you aren't, forget it. There is a chasm between upper management and employees that has a big, bold sign "DO NOT CROSS". Accept the party line and pretend it makes sense, any initiative, ideas, or critique is highly discouraged. Turnover of employees is extremely high, so be prepared to be constantly covering a workflow shortage or training and working with someone new. Get used to dealing with angry customers. Regions rarely examines the impact the changes they make with such rapidity has on their customer base. Policies are rarely explained, and may be enforced in one place and not in another. This makes for a confusing environment for customers and employees alike.

Pros

Benefits, pretty decent work/life balance, can learn about other lines of business, not a super large bank who is always in the news for something negative, MBA not required for most positions.

Cons

Internal technology/systems lagging, internal processes are debilitating, too many layers of management, tough to compete with other banks, no consistency between geographic locale, too many forms.
