Vantaggi
Nice people to work with, mostly.
Svantaggi
The list of cons is very long. That's especially true if you work at HQ in Birmingham. The bank is still trying to recover from a disastrous merger with AmSouth. The good ole boy network is in full force at HQ, with people in senior leadership who are locally well-connected and otherwise not really competent. Grayson Hall is a vast improvement over Dowd Ritter, who presided over the merger that nearly destroyed the bank. But the struggle to return to profitability and stay there has been really rough. Job cuts have been harsh and raises are miniscule. It's very tough to grow there either professionally or financially (unless you are one of the good ole boys, of course). Technology improvements have been slow in coming and there are frequent glitches, so trying to grow the consumer business is really difficult. People just expect their bank to offer great online and mobile banking, and Regions is way behind in these areas. There isn't much to like about Birmingham, either. We were glad to move away and not be part of that place anymore.
