Employee Experience
Pros: I enjoyed many of the people I worked with and if you have  a strong relationship with upper management, the opportunities to move within the company are greater. The company is good at adjusting to the times and what the customer wants, but unfortunately, change also means cutting cost and many decent mangers find themselves out of management roles and now that relationship you've worked so hard to build is meaningless. The company does a great job training their employees. The online modules help keep branch staff up to date on the latest software, products, and services. The company has some of the best classroom trainers who are enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the company, the subject matter they are teaching, and how to handle various customer and/or employee situations.
Cons: The benefits are great, but unfortunately with the amount of turnover, limited staff, and the fast-paced environment, time off is hard to obtain. The pay is tolerable, but the company will leverage the "bonus potential" to new hires. If you are lucky to be placed at a high ranking branch, then yes, the bonus could be great, but the chances at starting at such a stellar branch are unlikely. The company also doesn't tell you that there are a lot of stipulations that have to be met in order to get the bonus; as a result, many new hires will not see that dollar number they had been told was possible during the interview for a while. In the branches, you are required to wear a uniform and employees are expected to pay for their own clothing. New hires get 4 new items and then they are on their own unless you are a teller, then you can order one or two new clothing items on your anniversary, The cost is high and the quality is low for Chase apparel, which is why many branch employees will end up wearing non-Chase clothes and then getting in trouble for them.
