Pros

The matching contribution of 7% of 401k

Cons

This is that absolute worst company to work for they encourage employees to commit false reports and harrass clients for sales. I dont know how upper management feels good with the job they do knowing they think because they are a BOSS not a leader that they are in charge. Fact is you should truly care about the well being of your employees and especially the ones that dedicated most of their life working for Key. Instead you look for a reason to fire harrass, or discriminate against the employees. Disgraceful. Its nice to see most clients are leaving Key Bank. They see how unhappy the staff is if they even have staff in the branch. Upprr management in Ohio should really know what goes on in the branches from upper management!!

Pros

I was with the company for 7 years, the most positive aspects were working with the best manager and team for 4 years and client relationships. Our office received multiple awards and recognition for performance as well as customer service. Cleveland winning market of the year was an unforgettable experience. The CEO, Beth Mooney and entire executive team not only held a celebration, but also lined the stairs as the retail employees entered cheering and clapping for us. This is when the company truly cared for it's colleagues and clients.

Cons

Change is the only constant in a federally regulated industry. There isn't necessarily a negative impact due to change, however the company's response and actions can determine whether employees and customers can transition easily or not. After Beth Mooney's retirement (as well as leading up to that time) the changes were significantly felt on multiple levels. The shift seemed to primarily focus on the business making a profit and all other aspects were unimportant. It was extremely disheartening to work through changes with such a significantly negative experience and no support. Ultimately, this is the primary reason I no longer am with the company and would not consider employment with Keybank

Pros

Great internal culture. The people are very down to earth and family oriented. The opportunities for automation are everywhere.

Cons

The company's pay scale for technical skills is decades out of date (literally about 30% below par). They're not able to attract any good talent, resulting in the excessive exploitation of those with talent. Too many friends of friends. Not enough focus on the business.
