Great people in central Indiana, but a fading industry

Relationship Manager (Current Employee)
Indianapolis, IN

I have been working at KeyBank full-time for more than 7 years

ProsHands down one of the best management teams I've ever worked with. District President is awesome and very personable. Great team of employees from upper management to recent college grads in training.

ConsA little behind the times when it comes to technology and understanding evolving consumer habits.

Advice to Senior ManagementCall nights need to go. We'd be better served using that time to refine our email contacts and other was of reaching our clients through advancing technology.

Great place to work

Engineer IV (Current Employee)
Cleveland, OH

I have been working at KeyBank full-time for more than 7 years

ProsGreat vacation time, and a very good work/life balance. Willing to assist with pursuing continuing education whether it be certifications or college courses. The people are great as well.

ConsHighly Silo'd environment. Although this is understandable since it is a Financial institution and as such is highly regulated.

Limited opportunities to branch out and work on other technologies.

Advice to Senior ManagementPromote from within the company when possible. Limit the amount of outsourcing, particularly the outsourcing to other countries. It very much harms employee morale.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

It wasexactly what I expected.

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)

I worked at KeyBank part-time

ProsIt was a great experience. It caused me to be more aware of details and my co-workers were great.

ConsJob security is unsafe in my opinion. It's way too many ways for money to come up wrong (counterfeit bills, bad checks, stuck bills) and that equals you getting wrote up.

Key works to keep their employees happy

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)

I worked at KeyBank

ProsKey does listen to employees and tries to provide incentives to keep them happy. The senior management is always upfront with what is happening with the company.

ConsIt is still a bank - and funds are tight. So although there may be other incentives offered - financial ones may be harder to come by.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep listening to employees.
