Pros

Although Regions doesn't pay for graduate school, they are very supportive of continuing education and supporting personal development. Regions sponsored me to get my CTP (Certified Treasury Professional) and my supervisor supports my efforts to be involved in the company and often gives me advice on how to leverage resources and local events to promote my career. I never have any problem taking time off, they're pretty flexible if I need to leave early or come in late on occasion. There is opportunity for significant bonuses/incentives based on our annual production and Regions is good about recognizing accomplishments. I feel like there are good working conditions among my peers, there is a mutual respect between us all which makes for very few problems.

Cons

Getting salary increases is more difficult. We can only get 2-4% increase during our annual reviews in Feb. so you really need to get a promotion to significanly impact your salary. Sometimes communication on service enhancements or problems is slow and we find out from our customers before we hear from B'ham. The only time you can get a promotion is when someone else leaves or moves up the ladder so you have to wait and be patient.

Pros

Large financial instituion in the South, was a strong employer in Birmingham. People at legacy Regions were wonderful, really looked to take care of one another. There was a lot of pride in Birmingham to be part of the banking industry.

Cons

Not much career advancement, a lot of bank envy for larger, more sophisticated banks. The will to have a brand and be perceived like the Charlotte banks was there, however the infrastructure was not. Technology was the shining star of legacy Regions, but this investment has been diminished after the merger with Amsouth. The bank is not willing to invest in people or infrastructure enough to make Regions any more than a regional bank.

Pros

Regions (or at least what Regions used to be) is a great bank to work for. I worked with a large number of very sharp people who really cared about their work and always provided the best level of service possible. Many of these brilliant co-workers have advanced into higher positions within the bank and have become extremely successful.

Cons

Far to often, the loud and obnoxious know-nothings were promoted into leadership positions while those with experience and a real understanding of the bank and its products were ignored. Mergers have suffocated the culture and values of the legacy Regions Bank. What remains is an organization that does not live up to its true potential.
