Regions Financial Reviews

Pros

Regions encourages you to utilize your strengths within your roles everyday. Regions provides several way to grown and develop within your current role as well as receive peer guidance and input to expand into roles throughout the company. Regions provided resources such as complimentary college degree programs, local Diversity equity and Inclusion Networks to encourage a diverse and engaged environment. Regions also believes in giving back to the local community through a program called "what a difference a day makes" encouraging associates to take a paid day off to give back to their local community and charity interests. The people are engaged and positive and everyone is focused on a work life balance as well as making a difference every day in their roles. I am coming up on my 10th year with Regions and believe coming to work at Regions was the best decision I have made in my career.

Cons

Opportunity with investing more locally instead of into larger organizations, looking for ways to invest into smaller more local organizations.

Pros

good pay for position comparatively

Cons

work life balance could be better

Pros

I have been at Regions for almost 10 years, and have worked in a couple departments. In my time at Regions, I have worked directly and indirectly with at least 300 people. 99% of the people I have met in my time at Regions are genuine good people that cares about others, that wants to show up daily and put in their best effort, to make the bank a better place for customers and fellow associates. I have had close to a dozen managers in my time at Regions, every single one of them genuinely care about me and my career path and want me to be successful. Regions also cares deeply about creating a open and friendly work environment for each associate. Regions has a strong DEI culture and they put REAL money and real effort behind their DEI efforts.

Cons

Regions pay isn't the most competitive , associates often have to leave and go to a different bank to come back and get higher pay.

Pros

Spent many years at Regions receiving increased responsibility and titles. Hard workers are acknowledged and elevated, good attitudes are rewarded. Company is very supportive during life events, truly putting people first. Many great bankers, others who worked for larger banks come to Regions for the improved work-life balance. Also, current senior leaders have worked to create a culture of transparency that is making associates feel more connected.

Cons

Lack of diversity in leadership is present - there is effort being made to improve the makeup; but it does take time. Other changes, like adding new products, can be very slow, though I am not certain any other banking institution is much faster.

Pros

Enjoyed the branch I was a part of. Very productive and fast paced environment. Culture was ok, but felt a bit too numbers driven at times. Company offers good PTO and 401k profit sharing plans.

Cons

Incentives for quarterly bonuses are very difficult to achieve depending on the branch you're in.

Pros

Lot of opportunity for advancement, clear expectations, investing in employees and technology, great benefits.

Cons

Work some Saturdays, one bad boss can change your life for the worse

Pros

Great pay. The team was very supportive as we were all having the same struggles. You didn’t get every weekend off by any means but it was a very fair schedule.

Cons

Training was awful. They throw you on a computer for a couple days then expect you to know it all. If you don’t know something no one is helpful it’s go ask the chat (that was often a 30min-2hr wait for any help) all while a customer is needing immediate help. Very unrealistic quarterly goals. Unless you are getting a HELOC or a HELOAN with every customer you have no value to management. Often times felt like they didn’t even care about the customer just wanted to ouch loan products on them. If you aren’t meeting your quarterly goals they waste no time firing you even if it means there will be short staff.

Pros

Staff is professional and helpful

Cons

I have no issues at this time

Pros

Had a great experience at Regions. The company culture is the best I have experienced.

Cons

Nothing comes to mind. keep up the good work.

Pros

Training is done entirely at the branch. Will not have to commute elsewhere.

Cons

Training is not engaging, there is not enough shadowing time. Fully virtual and simulated. Does not accurately represent day-to-day.
