Pros

lots of vacation time, enough opportunity to advance

Cons

managment is so disorganized, KeyBank has branded itself as a heartless revolving door corp where sections of employees are constantly laid off for no fault of their own & treated as they meant nothing. It created an atmosphere of fear & helplessness, & some employees jumped ship before it was their turn. Meanwhile, they are hiring other people in other depts. Makes absolutely no sense.

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.
