Pros

I originally worked for AmSouth and left during the merger. It was disappointing to see some of the changes that were made and the sites that were ultimately shut down. Some positives would include that it allows a person an opportunity to really learn the business without being "thrown to the wolves". The platform program allowed employees to progress from branch office personal to more specialized focuses that may tailor more to the individual. AmSouth also pays for an employee to receive all licenses of interests and any additional coursework to continue to be successful. Great place for any college grad

Cons

Downsides include the chance the bank will be sold in the future. Best advice, get your experience and leave!

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.
