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

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.
