Pros
Remote work; only in-office for projects and larger team meetings (with advance notice) Good office location in the Larkin district of Buffalo Good people among the staff Good place to start out in banking/branch out a bit Benefits are solid and bonus structure is fair
Cons
Salary is significantly lower than comparable positions in the same market. Similar roles would be $10-$20K higher at other banks at minimum. Low performers and problematic people get away with minimal to no work and are not held accountable. Ex: management not showing up for 1:1s and not responding to messages, managers not responding to urgent calls/constantly showing as "away" on Teams Promotion is nearly impossible; internal candidates are typically not considered unless they meet or exceed every quality on the job description, and in-seat promotions (ex. title promotions) are unheard of Making any change at Key is daunting due to legacy Key employees from prior to First Niagara/Key conversion fighting change every step of the way
