Pros

Great DE&I Initiatives. Work/Life Balance is great at times; nobody is emailing you late at night and expecting you to answer or respond. Offices are at the T-Mobile Campus which offer a lot of amenities; outdoor seating, cafe's, and an amazing gym that is free. There are some amazing people that work here.

Cons

Poor pay compared to competitors. They do not care if you had any prior experience in another field, or an advanced education. You'll start out entry level. Which can be a good thing or bad. Tracking software that is used as a performance and punitive metric. (bonuses, work schedule, upward mobility). Poor leadership that lacks self-awareness and communication. Upward mobility is poor; you MUST go through the appropriate designations to make more money. Although it is a Hybrid schedule, upper management does not like it in the slightest. Hence why there is tracking software. Do your research if you want to work within the servicing office of KeyBank out of Overland Park, KS. The work load can be a lot at times, taking on more responsibility does not in any way mean you'll make more money or move up within the company. It is very basis-less work. You are servicing the debt of clients that just want to make more money and provide value to shareholders. That is it. Although you are required to come into an office, you'll find its quiet and not many people talk to each other.

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.
