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

The overall bank culture - they truly show that they value their employees, and fully vested in ensuring that is communicated and shown. I was completely impressed with my onboarding experience, and each day since my start date reaffirms that I made the right decision in accepting their offer. I could immediately tell that they invested in providing adequate tools to make our job functions efficient. There is also a large array of Learning & Development modules that are available to enhance your career. They are always sending out surveys to obtain feedback from the employees about their experience whenever they may have to engage with another area. The atmosphere has also been very welcoming and everyone seems so genuinely happy. They have provided me with a work life balance and good benefits. Regions definitely has identified the ingredients that I believe factor into why one would describe them as a great place to work. If the employees feel appreciated and are happy, it resonates. Its that kind of attitude that will be naturally also extended to our customers because its a embedded culture. I enjoy getting up and going to work everyday because I feel as if I am now working for a company that values the people they employ - and also care about how that also positively impacts their customers.

Cons

I can see that there are some gaps whereas one area may not fully understand what is going on in another - and because of that there may be some unnecessary overlap.
