Pros

The compensation is fair in the current marketplace, and benefit package is better than most. There are many locations, and transferring between them due to moving or other life changes is fairly simple. Equipment and software is cutting edge, and makes work easy. Training occurs often and is well done, so understanding your job duties is simple, even with the rapid fire changes in the finance industry.

Cons

This company is the proverbial 'old boy network'. If you are male, played sports in college, and are of a certain predominant race and socio-political class, then you will catch on fire moving up the ladder, it goes so fast. If you aren't, forget it. There is a chasm between upper management and employees that has a big, bold sign "DO NOT CROSS". Accept the party line and pretend it makes sense, any initiative, ideas, or critique is highly discouraged. Turnover of employees is extremely high, so be prepared to be constantly covering a workflow shortage or training and working with someone new. Get used to dealing with angry customers. Regions rarely examines the impact the changes they make with such rapidity has on their customer base. Policies are rarely explained, and may be enforced in one place and not in another. This makes for a confusing environment for customers and employees alike.

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

There are Bonuses and employee appreciation days. Good rotation on working weekends.

Cons

Your bonus is paid out based on others performance. If you’re having a great quarter, but someone else is doing slightly better, instead of getting paid out on what you’ve done, you get a decrease in your pay. With your sales, there is always a way for regions to take off credit for those sales so they won’t go towards your bonus.
