Great company, poor local community ruins reputation
Pros: - Benefits: absolutely no complaints. Top-notch benefits packages are provided at a very affordable rate.
- Work/Life balance: you receive a great deal of paid time off. The hours may be long depending on your area, but Chase does a good job of providing more than decent flexibility.
Cons: - Poor community, contributing to a very low rate of pay: philosophy is that since the area is poor, you should be happy to have a job. Pay is decent for the area, but very low when compared to similar positions in other markets.
- Politics: senior management changes have improved this issue, but the culture is still here. It will take a while to diminish
- Colleagues: although it is loads better than it was in years past, the level of professionalism is still very low, even at the middle management level.
-Mobility: there is little opportunity for career (and pay) advancement. It all depends on who you know- way too much bureaucracy.
- Communication: finger-pointing is the name of the game. More time is spent blaming that solving - management included.
