KeyBank Employee Reviews for Senior Sales Officer

"Approach with caution"

What do you like about working at KeyBank?

"Like many large companies, it makes available a great benefits package."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"As with many large financial institutions, the best opportunities for career advancement tend to be in lending. If career advancement is one of your objectives, assess those opportunities carefully before signing on. KeyBank can be an extremely high stress working environment. Staffing is uneven. There were large-scale layoffs during the tech bust. As with any position, be sure you will be working for a good boss. It makes all the difference in your quality of life!"

What don't you like about working at KeyBank?

"In the particular division where I worked, there were limited opportunities for advancement. This would not be the case in all positions but checkout the realistic opportunities for advancement before signing on. I had a boss who was just plain crazy (erratic behavior, derogatory comments, anger management issues). HR told me that if what he was doing was was not illegal, they would not take any steps to intervene. They finally fired him but it was a long, miserable experience for those of us who had to try to work for him."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"More emphasis on building a collegial work environment would be helpful. Satisfied employees tend to do that best work with the most dedication."
