Pros

Regions is great about work/life balance. When you clock out, the day is done. All the bank holidays are great to be off. You start with 2 weeks paid vacation and can purchase up to 2 more weeks if you want it taken out of each paycheck. You also get time off for sick days, doctor visits, etc, but you cannot use those as vacation days. Helping customers reach their personal financial goals is a joy when you actually have time to do it.

Cons

You are stretched as thin as Regions can possibly stretch you. One teller in lobby, one teller in drive through, handling lines of customers all day by yourself, and then you still have tons of other jobs you have to take care of besides helping the customer in front of you. Even though Regions starts higher for "tellers," here tellers do WAY more than just count money. They multitask and do other jobs across the entire branch. FRS have to also be part-time bankers and open accounts, do maintenance, open credit cards, handle fraud, research customer issues, research and fix coding error issues for transactions, and do out-bound phone calls to warm leads to bring in more business all throughout the week as well, and that's not even half of it. FRCs have to also rotate onto the teller line and work a cash drawer in between appointments, loans, and doing even more out-bound calls every week. It'll put the best multi-taskers to the test.

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

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.
