Pros

Quarterly Bonus based on performance, offer remote opportunities, great cafeteria, great potlucks.

Cons

Don't care much about customer experience or employee experience. As the employee who worked with clients all day, there were a lot of valid complaints from customers that they've known about for years that we escalated just to be told "yeah it's been like that for years" or a shrug. Also, we used nothing we learned in training once we got on the floor, not even how we started a call, once we got on the floor everything was different. Communication between the entire company needs to improve drastically, that would help them a lot. Opportunity for growth was very slim, especially if you were good at your job because they wanted to keep you there.

Pros

Generous PTO allowance; Get to build relationships with local customers. Can be a great company to work for so long as you are not in the Eastern PA region. Key Bank's acquisition of First Niagara Bank (FNB) in Eastern PA left a void in regards to lack of consistency in executing Key Bank company culture and leadership in the acquired Eastern PA region, which functioned as a hybrid of Key Bank's culture & processes, as well as old FNB culture & processes.

Cons

Forced to spend too much time focusing on checking account openings, credit card applications, and work on the teller line. Management expects you to focus more on getting a client to a certain wellness score as a metric versus being given the time to perform an in-depth financial planing analysis for each client. Getting clients to discuss their investment portfolio outside the bank takes time and relationship building. Management expects you to push products and advice in such a way that you are performing immediately to the role's metrics versus being given the time to build relationships, which not only takes time, but typically has very large rewards by way of significant investment & insurance business. Management exprects an SLRM to put way more focus on the branch's banking needs and doesn't probvide the time and proper resources needed to acquire & properly service investment clients. Branch management encourages predatory behavior among the floor sales team instead of working with a team approach. Referrals from tellers and Personal Bankers are highly depended on how competitive the branch environment is versus a "There's no 'I' in team" approach.
