Pros

Benefits and salary is fair at best.

Cons

Went to work at Key Bank because I am passionate about technology and they presented their goals as being technology focused. They also presented themselves as a community/employee wellness focused company. This all lasted just a short time, they don't want to invest in new technology which forces employees to deal with broken down systems. Been through 4 managers in 4 years and I have never seen a manager purposely throw their people under the bus as much as I have at Key. There are good people here but management is so focused on themselves they can't see past their own agendas.

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.
