Pros
Competitive salary Advancement if you are willing to drink the koolaid
Cons
First Niagara employees came with terrible bitter attitude and created a backstabbing environment. I worked for Key for greater than 20 years, and could not believe my eyes as I watched the entire bank change from kind and supportive to cold and suddenly could trust no one. Area leaders would play favorites and walk by you without even acknowledging you are there. Very cold and two faced. Even though they brag about how important work home life balance is, they absolutely expect you to work far over the norm and truly do not care about your life. I witnessed one area leader tell a new mother that she will spend 2 days away from her children for a manager meeting, and she "better think of something" to be there. The manager meeting ended up being a complete waste of time as we spent the meeting listening to how amazing they think they are.
