Pros

Coworkers were amazing to work with. Everyone is pleasant to one another and always helping each other out.

Cons

Since Chris Gorman has taken over a lot of senior employees who have been with the company 20+ years and some much longer (40 and 50 years) are being laid off and those within years of retirement are being shown the door and not offered retirement packages. Technology departments are also shrinking and workloads are piling up. While other companies are still Investing in technology from workers to maintaining basic infrastructure Key has taken the opposite approach and decided to go full stop.

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.
