Pros

KeyBank is a pretty great company to work for. The people who work for Key are exceptional. There are so many happy hours and events going on that create great sense of belonging * Paid maternity / paternity leave * Great starting PTO * Unused PTO rolls over to new year * Ability to move within the company * Health / wellness incentives * Finance discounts to employees * Neighbors Day * Flexible time depending on position

Cons

There are so many levels of management. Some managers don't have a handle on the teams they support Extreme over-reliance on contractors is disheartening. Pay is not in-line with current industry.

Pros

Flexibility is what sells this place as a great place to work. Hybrid schedule, great PTO, no guilt trips for needing time off for family matters.

Cons

Your experience will vary greatly based on your manager. One asset manager can freely call in or wfh without worry where another AM may be reprimanded for the same. The insurance department is completely inept. Borrowers are constantly threatening to sue because our insurance dept management sucks. Very little training across most departments. Some people work very very hard, others dont work at all, there doesnt seem to be much oversight there. When a manager tells their employee "dont expect to get promoted next year" with no guidance or encouragement, you pretty much kill all motivation for that employee to do better. They will hire people as senior staff and pay them way more than their seasoned employees make, and then tell their seasoned employees not to expect a senior promotion.
