During the duration of my employment with Regions Bank I have realized that the main priority with the company is customer service. Regions does not succeed unless the customers are happy. Therefore, as employees, we must do everything in our power to keep them satisfied. The management team is so dedicated on making sure that we are aware and very – more...  knowledgeable about the new and upcoming changes that are going to take place. I am so appreciative of the hardwork and encouraging efforts that they give.
I also have a great relationship with my coworkers. they have become so of my great friends. The hardest part of my job would be trying to become accomdated with the new changes. Regions changes things almost every week. Once you finally figure something out and become an expert of it, something else pilots down. however, that would be considered as one of my strengths. The most enjoyable part of my job would be building a relationship with my customers. i love to learn my customers by name and show them they regions apprecaite their business. sometimes i would send thank u card to the house, give them candy, or just tell them how appreciative we are. – less

Pros-Solid work schedule (called bankers hours for a reason). On the management level, lots of time outside of the branch spent on growing relationships with other businesses in the community.

Cons-Pay scale might be on the smaller side, and with recent changes in the economy, lots of layoffs. Limited room for advancement.

The branch was ok. I was ready to relocate back Nashville.
The tellers and head teller were great to work with.

I worked at Regions for 10 years and in my opinon its good place to work. But like most bank the focus is on sales more than service. A typical day starts at 8:30 and end at 5:30. There is a lot to learn but you have help from co-workers, online classes and seminar. The job is basicly customer service and sales. The hadrdest part of the job is trying – more...  to selling products that people are not interested in. The most enjoyable part of the job was helping the customers.(service)
I have worked for several mangers, some I love and some I just like but I learned a lesson from each of them. – less

I loved working at Regions Bank formerly know as AMSouth. I had worked as a teller in a bank several years ago and things have really changed.

My biggest disappointment was the inability to transfer to other branches prior to a years employment with the company. I personally had a personality conflict within the branch and had asked for a transfer – more...  but denied due to not enough time at the branch. I believe I was let go due to the conflict, but would have been totally successful in another branch and was also told that by other managers where I had filled in on occasion. – less

I very much enjoy my work days at the bank. I get along great with all of my coworkers, as well as my supervisors. A typical day at work consists of taking care of customers, following the banks rules and regulations, and taking care of commercial transactions. I have learned a great deal about handling customers and following procedures. The most enjoyable – more...  part of my job would be the daily interactions I get to have with my customers. I really enjoy getting to know them and helping them when I can. – less

Fun place to work, good people. Smaller, more straight forward branch environment as opposed to a large office, or call center. Solid schedule, which does imply overtime can be a big issue. Biggest concern is four different Managers in less than two years. It makes for a lot of stress when one person after another comes in and not knowing what kind – more...  of mess they're going to have to clean up. Since it's a small branch, the problems can cascade from one person to another in no time. Another concern is that all the branches seem to be way understaffed. Very bad for the clients/customers. They may have thought they were saving by cutting corners here and there, but it clearly has cost in the long run, and will continue to do so in the future. – less

Opening,deposit, Providing customer service offering new products,generating new accounts.

I learned how to properly count money. I enjoyed meeting new people and learning about their lives daily.

South Houston Market which is known for its turn over. Every couple of years, the South Houston district manager narrows in on the people she doesn't like. Once you are on that path, good luck.

They want the manager out of the office 90% of the time while leaving your branch understaffed with high unattanable goals. Then when your don't meet them, – more...  they consistantly tell you that you will be put on performance counseling.

No advanatage to business customers in Houston since there are so few locations in the Houston area. Most people here dont even know who Regions Bank is, much less want to move accounts to a unknown bank. – less

each day involves working with coworkers who have become friendsand management I have learned agreat deal from, to all come together to provide the best possiblecustomer service in every situation.... The hardest part is making time to work all filesand reaching all quotas without any overtime, but it gets done! It's a good feeling knowing you have – more...  helped people close their loan sooner than expected... I have learned that hardworkand teamwork will get the job done everytime. – less

I worked for Regions Financial corp for 10 years, and I had the opportunity to always do more than what I was hired to do. The most enjoyable part of my job was the human resources and administrative aspects of my job. I enjoyed being challeneged when issues would arise, and I was faced with finding the best possible solution. The hardest part of my – more...  job was not always getting the guidance I asked for from my direct manager, but it did not stop me from doing my best. – less

Beside the poor management and lack of communication. I enjoy what I do.

Typical day: co-managed the teller line, solve customer’s problems
Learned from management: How to promote and sale banking products better
Learned from co-owners: Procedures to effetely run the branch on daily bases
Hardest part of the job: Always short staffed
Most enjoyable: customer interaction- building long term relationships

As I bank teller I would manage and balance my cash draw through out the day to ensure accuracy. The branch was a team where we provided customers with services to satisfy their banking needs. There were many aspects within the branch that had to be done as either a team, it could not be completed by just one person. Knowing the different products avaialble – more...  was important so that when we delt with individual accounts we culd point them in the proper product direction. There were multiple vaults that held either cash, checks, safe deposit boxes, ect., with different codes for each, which needed to be known at all times. Depending on the day of the week, I had to open or close the branch, which was very critical. – less

I did not like the training received in the begining. Once working there other training was fine.

If management doesnt like you for any given reason, your days are numbered. Area manager in Paducah KY is a backstabber.
