Pros
The management is excellent at Chase, I loved my branch and coworkers and all the client relationships I built there. Chase's technology and computer programs are very advanced which makes the job very easy. Don't know something? Back office will literally walk you through anything step by step- you have resources and tools available to make your job conveniently doable. At Chase you don't have to underwrite our own loans everything is sent to "back office" so your mostly the face of the products and don't have to do the heavy lifting. Chase will also gives you PLENTY of opportunities to learn and grow if that's what your looking for. They have a WONDERFUL licensing program, will pay for you to get your notary and in general will develop you if you want to expand on your banking skills and knowledge. The benefits at Chase are also amazing and overall its a great place to work and looks great on a resume. Highly recommend Chase if you're getting into banking or if your looking to work at a Big Bank- it by far is the best one.
Cons
-Moderate but increasing sales pressure! If you can't handle the pressure this isn't for you. You are EXPECTED to produce month over month. They will write you up if you have multiple bad months. -Year over year their monthly incentives are lowered with and it becomes more challenging to meet your expected sales. Bankers are making less then they used to because traffic has died down in the branches IMMENSELY due to technology, atms and mobile banking. Branches only have a maximum of 2 or 3 teller now. -Expected to be a telemarketer! Because branch traffic has died down they expect you to make calls all day every day, 30 to 40 calls and have scheduled call blocks with the Mortgage, Business and Financial Advisors in the branch. If you don't like the phones this isn't for you, the calls are a MUST!!! -CHASE CAN BE RUTHLESS. When it comes to policy and procedure they have ZERO tolerance for doing things your own way or bending the rules. They are big brother. You are constantly being watched. Don't bank there if you work there. They are all up in your business even if you think they aren't THEY ARE! I've seen so many people get let go for little things they didn't think was a big deal. Chase doesn't care YOU are not worth the risk! -If you have a heart and care about people, THIS JOB WILL COMPROMISE YOU. Chase only wants to work with rich people- this is evident in the products they offer and increasing focus on households with more then 250k. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT CUSTOMERS. Chase is all about the money and they are very black and white when it comes to approving products for people. You will want to do the right thing by clients but Chase will deny your customers the most basic products. There is no exceptions- No means no.
