Pros

Although Regions doesn't pay for graduate school, they are very supportive of continuing education and supporting personal development. Regions sponsored me to get my CTP (Certified Treasury Professional) and my supervisor supports my efforts to be involved in the company and often gives me advice on how to leverage resources and local events to promote my career. I never have any problem taking time off, they're pretty flexible if I need to leave early or come in late on occasion. There is opportunity for significant bonuses/incentives based on our annual production and Regions is good about recognizing accomplishments. I feel like there are good working conditions among my peers, there is a mutual respect between us all which makes for very few problems.

Cons

Getting salary increases is more difficult. We can only get 2-4% increase during our annual reviews in Feb. so you really need to get a promotion to significanly impact your salary. Sometimes communication on service enhancements or problems is slow and we find out from our customers before we hear from B'ham. The only time you can get a promotion is when someone else leaves or moves up the ladder so you have to wait and be patient.

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

Regions offers excellent opportunity to hone and develop a financial skill-set. For those who are willing to work hard and seek professional growth, Regions offers excellent opportunity. the horizontal structure of management presents a direct way to gain exposure and feedback, both of which can be challenging to come by in typical banking positions. This style of management also leads to opportunities for better mentoring.

Cons

The horizontal structure of management provides insufficient opportunity for advancement. Merit increases have actually nothing to do with merit and salaries are not competitive with other areas within Region let alone outside of the bank.
