Business outlook
Pros
Large financial instituion in the South, was a strong employer in Birmingham. People at legacy Regions were wonderful, really looked to take care of one another. There was a lot of pride in Birmingham to be part of the banking industry.
Cons
Not much career advancement, a lot of bank envy for larger, more sophisticated banks. The will to have a brand and be perceived like the Charlotte banks was there, however the infrastructure was not. Technology was the shining star of legacy Regions, but this investment has been diminished after the merger with Amsouth. The bank is not willing to invest in people or infrastructure enough to make Regions any more than a regional bank.
