Pros

Plenty of different opportunities within the company for advancement and lateral mobility. Many different lines of business to choose from; Banking, Investments, Mortgage, Trust, Commercial Lending, etc.

Cons

The downsides listed are not necessarily exclusive to Regions. I imagine the experience is very similar with other banks. Daily pressure to perform and sell a large array of financial products. A lot of regulations, rules, and changes to stay current with. Need to have a broad knowledge base along with excellent customer service skills. Constant distractions (ie: account issues, complaints, overdrafts, account fraud... Can be quite tedious at times and still involves way too much paperwork for the 21st century.

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.
