Great place to work, but not for a long period of time
Pros: My Schedule here has always been very flexible. This is for me a very large pro. In all my years, I have typically been in charge of my own day to day business. Very little management oversight when you show responsibility. Chase is spending a good amount of money to try and make this a great place to work. There are activities from exercise classes to community events that Chase participates in. They have event days in the office for Hispanic month or breast cancer awareness. Often times this means bringing in food. They attempt to provide everyone with a nice Christmas party.
Cons: Chase will try very hard to keep you from earning more money. It is very common to apply for a new position that is clearly a higher grade and not be offered a higher salary. I have received an increase in the past for getting a higher grade, but I have also not received one. For the most part, people are not getting higher salary for higher jobs requiring more skills, experience, and responsibility. When a new employee joins your team from a different company, they will almost certainly make more than you. People who take higher positions outside the company will almost always earn more. Then if you look for a job at Chase again, you will be able to get a higher salary because you will be from outside.
