Pros

When everyone understood the goal and worked towards it, Key was on fire.

Cons

When communication failed, things fell apart. Communication should be able to happen up and down the chain. It did not happen.

Business Outlook

Pros

At one time, Key was a great company. Unfortunately, past management and BoD pretty much ran this company into the ground. The current crises has less to do with the downturn than it does with a 10 year process of poor acquisitions and horrible business decisions. New management has a lot of challenges.

Cons

Company filed Chapter 11. What else do you really need to know? CEO listed below is incorrect. Alario has been gone for almost a year...best decision the BoD made the past 10 years.

Pros

Great place to work and learn knowledge to carry with you throughout your careers. Lots of things to learn and be able to grow as an employee.

Cons

I don't have any cons to report. I have worked here for twenty five years and have grown in my different positions.
