Pros

Regions Bank had a fair compensation package that paid you for your performance. They use this compensation as the only stimulus and reward for a job well done. The tools and services are all available to be successful in commercial banking at this institution. Delivering on the products is another story.

Cons

Communication and advancement are impossible at Regions Bank. In my personal experience, management does not recognize the performers in the company. Goals and responsibility are loaded on the ones with the ability to get the job done and the dead weight is not penalized for their lack of ability or initiative. The corporate message doesn't make it down to the producer level. It is a serious detriment to the ability of the line person to serve the customer without having a clear picture of where the bank is going. I sold products to clients that were what they needed only to have the product discontinued or majorly overhauled within weeks of the sale. This made a good relationship and sale a negative because the customer viewed it as a "bait and switch".

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.
