Pros

Not likely to get laid off and there are a lot of open positions. You will be paid a decent salary but they will work you to death.

Cons

You will likely work double duty. The company is very hierarchical, so it is not taken well when you question or challenge those who are above you. People will pull rank a lot and the sr management names are used to get work done quicker. Legacy Senior leadership (those from AmSouth) are incompetent. They ran their old company into the ground but are able to keep high positions in the new company. Very few people make decisions and the CEO's son has gotten 3 or 4 promotions in the last 2 years (this tells you how important status is in the company). People are afraid of their seniors. It's not like some other companies where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts. Most managers keep a tight lid on their employees because recognition and power are so important here MISTAKES ARE HIDDEN.

Pros

Great benefits! I get $1,000 excused off my Regions Home Mortgage each year just for continuing to work there. Regions also matches 100% on the first 6% contributed to your 401k. With so many locations, you can pretty easily transfer to another branch even in a different state with your job staying the same. I have had several friends want to move in their careers to be closer to family, etc and it was very easy for them to do so. I have also not seen many get fired due to poor performance or sales skills, one of the advantages of not getting paid much is that your too cheap to let go!

Cons

Very hard to get noticed individually at such a large company. I have been working for Regions Bank for 4 years, have a Finance Degree and a MBA from a State School, and have been one of the top 3 producers out of 25 for the past 3 years and have never received a single promotion still working in a entry level position.
