Regions Financial Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Regions Financial full-time for more than a year

Pros – Get to leave at 4 pm. Bank Holidays. Inside look at Banking. Taught me a lot about personal finance.

Cons – No career advancement options. Complete disregard for you as a person. Little better than flipping burgers.

Advice to Senior Management – You are missing out on talent. Tellers would work harder if there was a career path and not just a dead end.

Current Employee – been working at Regions Financial full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Great benefits for all aspects of employee's financial life. Time off is great with 11 vacation days, 10 holidays, and 12 sick days/ year starting out. Regions is very good about arranging a transfer if you need to move so they can retain your experience and training. Advanced technology makes working more efficient than working with a Community Bank.

Cons – Path for advancement is very unclear. The branch you work at and the opportunities (amount of customer traffic) make all the difference in how much money you will make and how long it will take to get promoted.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop setting unrealistic "stretch" goals that dishearten employees. Pay tellers more to reduce employee churn and create a more stable customer service environment. for customers. Increase bonuses for all employees when branch goals are met rather than just paying managers huge bonuses and hardly anything else to the rest of the staff who is otherwise very uncaring if goals are met since they receive very little compensation.

Former Employee – worked at Regions Financial full-time for more than a year

Pros – The health insurance is phenomenal! I am convinced it is the only reason people stay employed with this company.

Cons – I could name a million reasons not to work here. Where should I begin? Let see, upper management doesn't care about you. They have a "what have you done for me lately?" mentality. You never really have a set schedule if you work in an actual branch. You work as early as 7am and as late as 7:30 pm. Should I mention the call nights? Lets not forget that you're also going to work on Saturdays. Also, you're alway worried about losing your job if you don't make sales goals.

Advice to Senior Management – Invest in retaining your people!

Current Employee – been working at Regions Financial part-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Like to help customers with their banking

Cons – Have to say customers name 3 times and tell them ours''name plate---name badge and they are in the bank daily. Goals too high, we see same people and they don't need any more products. Like a 3 ring circus some days

Advice to Senior Management – If managers have a good year they are in chairman's club, with big big payouts. Last manager did nothing. for the employes that made it happen. Tellers are the backbone of a branch, reward us with more monetary gains.

Current Employee – been working at Regions Financial full-time

Pros – Decent benefits and friendly associates

Cons – Not enough time off paid and lots of stress over making numbers

Current Employee – been working at Regions Financial full-time for less than a year

Pros – great benefits
decent pay relative to competitors

overall its an easy job. the problem is, you are consistently taking phone calls, for several hours a day. You time is monitored during your entire shift. Sales are also very important and since it is easy to get lazy, the management team micro manages.

Cons – working at the call center will drive you crazy

Advice to Senior Management – rotate employee jobs

Current Employee – been working at Regions Financial part-time for less than a year

Pros – I worked with a great group of people and everyone was really helpful when I started.

Cons – I think the company could pay more and sometimes the customers were annoying because they don't keep track of how much the spend and then are mad at you when you are just reading off what the computer screen says.
