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

- 7% 401(k) match (although only funded once a year) - $500 Wellness credit to use towards a gym membership, new work clothes, college tuition and so on. - Not too pad when it comes down to PTO policy.

Cons

- Extremely old technology. - Bad products (it’s hard to sell when your products are simply bad). - Everything takes twice as long to happen at KeyBank (when it comes down to processes). Everything is manual, nothing is automated. - Commission pay is all over the place, extremely hard to understand and unreliable. There are so many rules about what qualifies for commission and what doesn’t that it’s hard to keep up. - As a licensed banker, you will compete with your non-licensed teammates for investment referrals. - Cheap company. Instead of hiring more people, they will use a Private Client Banker at the teller line if needed. - Banks open Saturday. - Paperwork for every single small thing. - Commission pay for licensed bankers is at the mercy of your Private Client Advisor. If they forget to add your name when closing an investment deal, you get nothing. It happens quite often in every single branch. - Expensive health insurance plans. - Not a lot of growth opportunities if you aren’t in WA or Ohio.
