Pros

The PTO and Holiday Time is wonderful! I truly love working for a large company because there are tons of opportunities for you to grown.

Cons

As a large company, you are a number...and now Key is outsourcing a LOT..We work with lots of overseas folks. It's sad we can't keep things in the US. It's very difficult to work in this situation. times are tough now, and Key is under scrutiny because of the financial market. That is definitely a downside, no matter how you look at it. Key started Keyvolution. This reminds me of office space..I'm anxious to see what happens Our group is expected to work a lot of hours. This company used to promote work/life balance. Now, I don't believe that is so.

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.
