Pros

Recognised in the industry, stability ie not much in terms of redundancy etc

Cons

Its definately not a meritocracy, when enquired about how promotions are done etc, was told it was a very complicated process (in my eyes this reads as, u didnt do enough *ss kissing) or simply that you havent made the right impression on someone and whilst they are your Boss you will not get promoted. Sheer hard work is not acknowledged, but more on how good you are at wasting time by having conference calls, meetings etc! None of these have to be productive, you just have to show you are willing to organise a meeting about having a meeting.

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.
