Regions Financial Reviews

Cons

The company has lots of systems that have to be learned in order to be productive. Sometimes communication is not clear from the executive management team.

Cons

Salary does not match the duties that are required. They should pay more to keep good employees.

Cons

Pay scale not on pace with competitors

Cons

Limited to 6 internal job postings per calendar year and 2 outstanding at any given time. Felt like it was challenging to move around. Depends on you, your department, and manager, I suppose.

Cons

The Training at Regions is non existent. It can be better or worse depending on the branch you are at, but overall they heavily rely on a few instructor led classes, and we based training that is 80% just PDF documents you have to read for hours. After "menotoring" in your first month there is little to none of coaching. I literally have been left on my own to learn every aspect of an INCREDIBLY complex and Challenging job. I was hired from Retail, NOT banking, and still have had this total lack of guidance. I feel that I could be an incredibly successful banker if I had gotten the training that I so desperately need. Amongst massive corporate changes right now it is so sad to see good employees leaving after just 1 or 2 years because they did not get proper training. I am constantly told what an asset I am and that I TRULY CARE, but they overlook and ignore the need for coaching. I feel that I cannot actually help my clients the way I would love to because of this. After doing this for 9 months, I would like to move over to the Cashline, but I may be forced to leave due to my manager showing the propensity for retaliation for decisions like that.

Cons

While I was good with most of the people I worked with, there was really no comrade among us. It felt like being on an island most of the time. I wasn't involved much with new initiatives and projects and I felt like my time was being wasted. While I do not necessarily consider this a con, when the CEO sends out a company wide "reorganizing" and states in the email that some will stay and some will go, it's time to evaluate your career there. I don't feel that my job was in jeopardy, but I also don't feel I was being given the opportunity to contribute in a more meaningful way.

This deserves it's on paragraph here. No bonus structure for people in my position. Very frustrating to have to do reporting for people who did get bonuses. Personally I feel that if only portions of positions can receive bonuses, it's basically an unfair act.

Cons

commision could be better and higher for those that are putting in the work

Cons

Changing “sales tactic”to “uncovering needs” of clients. It’s just changed the word sale to “uncovering”. It’s super high pressure and you could easily lose your job if you don’t make the sales goals and or Gallup goals. They expect you to be a banking wizard learn everything from a “home page”and then apply it. Making sure you do everything g according to policy that is 1000’s of pages to look through. It’s super hard.

Cons

A lot of focus is on sales instead of relationships with customers

Cons

Changing of supervisors was detrimental.
