Pros

Right now the best reason to work for Regions is my boss. I believe that is the key to success. If you don't have someone to support you, you might as find another job. Im not sure how the promotions work at Regions but at my last job it was based on performance. I was told that I could earn up to 15% of my salary in commission. As of right now I have not seen one bit of commission. They don't tell you that to get your commission everyone in the branch must meet their goals/ Teamworks and that the gallup score must be in the green for three months.

Cons

Sell, sell, sell. No matter how much you do you are always required to make phone calls and sales. Very fast paced. Honestly, I don't mind the calling part. I just don't like the fact that their are no individual goals. If I could earn commission on my individual work I would be making a lot more money. In the banking world you either need to know someone or have lots of experience to get a good position. If you don't have fun working your way up. I suggest moving every couple of years to maximize your salary and position.

Pros

HR is easily accessible. Some managers may be on your behind about work even though there are easier methods. Some managers with criticize you in front of other employees.

Cons

We have to use five of our vacation days consecutively so they can audit us. We aren’t assigned Saturday shifts close to our home, so some people have to drive farther for 3 hours of work (no mileage). Managers are hit or miss. PE can be affected by location, so try to get a good location.

Pros

There are Bonuses and employee appreciation days. Good rotation on working weekends.

Cons

Your bonus is paid out based on others performance. If you’re having a great quarter, but someone else is doing slightly better, instead of getting paid out on what you’ve done, you get a decrease in your pay. With your sales, there is always a way for regions to take off credit for those sales so they won’t go towards your bonus.
