Pros

Benefits, career growth, tuition reimbursement, bonuses, 401k contribution, PTO, option to work remotely. Key is a good company to work for. It encourages growth and offers the flexible to post for an internal position as long as you have worked in your current position for a year. Work from home is very beneficial and one of the things I loved about key. I was never Micro-managed and I was always treated as an adult.

Cons

InConsistency, staying ahead of the market; digital innovations are non existent, budget constraints, repetitive errors cause by little or no proper resolution of issues. Reorganization; including layoffs every two years. Little job security. The merger with First Niagara was not the best business decision for Key. Monetary, possibly but retaining a few executor leaders; bad decision. You have the same leaders that ran First Niagara into the ground, leading some of the departments within the bank with zero knowledge of how to manage.

Pros

My coworkers are good, Training staff are great. 4 weeks of PTO is nice and the pay is decent along with a 7% 401K match.

Cons

I have strong reason to suspect I was placed on a PIP for reporting a employment violation to HR, I have had approved PTO get unapproved with 10 days of the vacation with no compensation, my area region leader is horrible. They have very weird rules to disqualify any compensation or even metric recording of repeat investors, even though the advisor I work with gets full credit and compensation, the branch manager and area leader get full metric credit and increase to their bonus for it and if another employee referred it they still receive their full flat bonus for the referral. If a branch is understaffed you will be required to essentially become a branch manager and will be expected to take on numerous branch operations but they will not adjust your wealth metrics.
