Pros

Easy to get into the Trust, R&D, Bill Pay, or Distribution operations department. Will take just about anyone even without experience. They will train you.

Cons

Its a set up for failure. With no experience departments will be tough to learn. No training classes. Training consist of you sitting at someone's desk and watch them do the work. A week or two later you'll finally get to do the work on a computer. Once your in this area it will be extremely hard to move on to a higher position. People with MBA's are having a hard time getting out. It seems like the recruiters and managers of other departments avoid hiring from this area. Avoid! The other operation areas should be beneficial to involve your skills and career.

Pros

If you’re in the Seattle area or other markets with concentrated branches there is a lot of opportunity for development. There are some very good employees that work for key.

Cons

Leadership is unpredictable and expectations are constantly changing making it hard to effectively manage a team and commit to all individual sales responsibilities. They removed them but reinstated them in a different way mid year with no notice.
