Pros

Loved working for WaMu. It was when the company was bought and sold for peanuts that it hurt. The company was good and treated the employees well.

Cons

Sub-prime mortgages were the pitfall. The company had a strong consumer banking divison; the mortgage division was extremely challenging. Toward the end (during the financial meltdown of 2008), the company was in a frenzy.

Pros

I loved working at Chase in Home Equity and First Mortgage. Decent pay, decent managers that were supportive.

Cons

The business credit card department is an absolute nightmare - avoid! We got moved around due to housing market changes. Understandable but they also made it seem like it was going to be the best thing that could happen to us. Told us we wouldn’t be answering calls and then it was full blown call center. It was the literal worst. Most unorganized, unsupportive, dumpster fire of a department.
