Pros

Keybank has been nothing but a negative experience in banking.

Cons

Restructuring of branch manager role makes you a small business banker at the same time. Try developing your people, running a branch and prospecting new businesses in the community. Bank did away with a great incentive plan to replace it so that managers only get paid on how well they do with small business. Again....you still have an entire branch to run and employees to develop. The work load is crazy. Employees quitting left and right, constantly short staffed. Management is a clique and you have to navigate office politics.

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.
