Pros

PTO is the only benefit that was great.

Cons

Immature Senior Leadership that gossips about branches and staff to other branches. I was in my late 40’s with over 20 years of leadership, I couldn’t even secure an interview for a promotion to Branch Manager in spite of leading much larger teams and a proven track record . I watched 3 new leaders hire in from the outside, while not only not allowing me to interview, but other very capable Bankers as well. Many of us left simultaneously, to secure bigger jobs with other organizations and are doing well. I watched the new Branch Managers flounder prior to leaving because Key actually thought their Banker would help train them?? I observed someone in Senior Leadership return to the branch and brag that a Regional, himself and someone in wealth, “took bets”, on how long one female manager would last, not even realizing the optics of how much of an immature boys club it appeared to be. I could go on and on, but mostly glad I left. The only job in my life that I feel I wasted 2 years of my life.

Pros

Loved by clients because of constantly carrying the weight of the team.

Cons

Had to constantly carry the weight of the team. Watched people get promoted off of things they should have been terminated for. Watched long term employees get terminated so positions could be opened up for personal friends of back office (outside of work). Mental abuse. Low pay for the workload and stress load. Had to quit because of the ongoing disrespect.
