Pros
Normal Pros for any bank job.
Cons
Micromanagement!! Toxic Culture. I have been in banking for many years. Working at Regions made me completely change my career path. It deeply affected me. Everyone there is miserable. The upper management are sleazy, lying, tyrants. Nothing you do there is ever good enough. Oh, you’re hitting 22k in points? That means nothing because your Guided Discoveries aren’t averaging enough per day so we’ll put you on a coaching plan and make EVERY interaction with a customer be subject to manager review. You’re a licensed banker but having to work the teller line all day so your outbound calls aren’t averaging 25 a day? Reprimanded. Coaching plan. You’re a failure. By the way, completely broken calling system. For my 2 years they just kept saying “yes we are aware there are issues”...you get the same exact leads everyday! (Also, in 2 years never heard if ANYONE getting a promotion...plenty of demotions though) Yes, this place is toxic. Trust me, I’m not just some rogue disgruntled former employee. Everyone there shares this sentiment. Before leaving, I reported several major violations my regional manager had been committing. Nothing was done. This person repeatedly lied to me, then threatened me, transferred illegitimate points to “their hires”, and the final straw was they wanted to pull me out of the branch on a day we were short staffed to go make “monitored calls” to customers...despite the fact that 3 weeks into the quarter I already had 9k in points, not even counting a pending private wealth referral. Why? Because nothing is ever good enough, and all they care about is spreadsheet management and exerting control over you. Working at Regions made me want to never work for any corporate job ever again.
