Pros

-SR Leadership eventually listens -Managers have autonomy to make decisions in their branch -If the branch performs your bonus can be around $4k/qtr -The benefits are very affordable -The COVID response was amazing for employees -The work/life balance is good

Cons

-SR Leadership only listens after the entire bank sees massive amounts of turnover of good quality talent -They say it is not a sales based organization but make no mistake you will be calling lots of people and turning every single interaction into sales that they call "needs based" and the sales pressure is enough that this is not the job for most people -There are too many egos in Birmingham that all think they know the right directions to lead the bank as far as sales go and you see lots of counterintuitive direction come from different avenues. -Too many buzz words used to where every conversation you have with anyone above the BM level feels fake and/or disingenuous

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.
