Pros

I have met some great people working for Regions over the years. You do get some vacation and you can use it. If you work hard and do your job you probably won't get fired.

Cons

Regions has a management culture that tends to make a big deal out of small things while letting large problems slide. Where most companies are more interested in profit and loss reports, management at Regions focuses on playing games and giving employee surveys on whether your best friend works at Regions or not (yes, we are actually questioned about this every year). You will sometimes get a sheet of paper telling you that you did a great job but you rarely get monetary compensation for it. Management tends to promote people for superficial reasons, not for clear business reasons. We have lost so many intelligent, talented employees over the years while promoting people that have very little job experience much less banking experience. Rather than selling products based on needs, customers are often pressured into opening accounts using fear tactics or just generally confusing the customer into it. Constant turnover is big problem. There really is no such thing as a senior contact center employee; and that's why no one, including management, has been there long enough to give the customers sound banking advice.

Pros

-SR Leadership eventually listens -Managers have autonomy to make decisions in their branch -If the branch performs your bonus can be around $4k/qtr -The benefits are very affordable -The COVID response was amazing for employees -The work/life balance is good

Cons

-SR Leadership only listens after the entire bank sees massive amounts of turnover of good quality talent -They say it is not a sales based organization but make no mistake you will be calling lots of people and turning every single interaction into sales that they call "needs based" and the sales pressure is enough that this is not the job for most people -There are too many egos in Birmingham that all think they know the right directions to lead the bank as far as sales go and you see lots of counterintuitive direction come from different avenues. -Too many buzz words used to where every conversation you have with anyone above the BM level feels fake and/or disingenuous

Pros

Company was quick to hire and showed urgency in starting right away.

Cons

The branch location that I worked at had a COVID outbreak. The manager encouraged those with the virus to continue working and kept the branch open. When expressing concern due to having high risk family members I was told that there was a business to be ran and to get over it. Ended up getting the virus and refused to go in due to fear of spreading to others. Was told that I was not allowed to miss more than 3 days or I would lose my job. The majority of our customers are retired and I didn’t feel comfortable exposing them to the virus. Out of respect for my community I chose to not go back to the organization. When being hired for the company I never received the resources or materials to contact our HR department due to the company’s desperation to get me on the cash line. I will never go back.
