Key leaders care for their employees. Key has done so much for me. They have invested in my professional development and opened doors for me I could never have imagined. I never thought I’d work in banking, but I can now tell you my allegiance is with Key.

Stephen Pease
Small Business Team Lead

We're attracted to the veteran profile because it aligns to a lot of that we do here. Project management, budgeting, leading teams, problem solving; those soft skills can be applicable to many different types of opportunities here at Key that don't necessarily require somebody to have a background in banking.

Hiring Our Nation's Heroes

As someone who went through my own transition from the military to corporate America, there is a period of just learning, but it's no different than getting a new assignment and having to learn a new assignment in the military. I think you'll find a lot of things at Key that are similar in some ways to the military. There is an absolute bias to be thinking strategically, but executing tactically. And so in some ways, those values of the military, I think are absolutely translatable here at Key.

Transitioning from the Military

The veteran experience brings something to the table that you cannot find in any other candidate. The teamwork, the perseverance, the learning agility, the flexibility, the desire to complete a task, or reach a goal, whether that's an individual goal or a goal as a team, those are all things that are at the core of what we do. And so, candidates that come to us with those types of skill set, they're so valuable. They're important to, you know, every part of our organization.

Key Values the Vet Experience

We have a veteran community. We call it the Key Military Network. This is 300 plus individuals strong. These are people who know the situation that our veterans transitioning are in. We have a mentorship program where we pair incoming folks with the network so that we can help that transition happen. We have regular get-togethers on a national scale so that we can make sure we're working together as a community and solving problems. So this in an area where I think Key has put effort, put focus, and we really do, do a nice job of welcoming, transitioning, and retaining our military community, who decides to join Key.

Key Military Network

To the veteran who's concerned about not having a finance background or a traditional banking background, I would say we have several parts of our organization on the operations and support side, administrative, human resources that do not require individuals to have these technical financial skills. Many people who join our organization don't come from a banking background, and we like that.
