Pros

higher base pay than other bank

Cons

KeyBank is stuck in a dividend stock trap and are required to pay out 75% of income to shareholders in the form of dividends. This massive cash outflow makes it impossible for KeyBank to upgrade the infrastructure, property train or staff key departments. It feels to me like the long term employees of KeyBank are the victims in an abusive relationship, and have yet to realize they can just walk away .

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.
