Working inside The Fortress
Pros: Chase is an interesting place to work because you can collaborate with all levels of employees in locations all over the US (or even globally).
Cons: Despite the fabulous press, there is much cost cutting (and job cutting) going on.  Employees have to bring their own toilet paper, paper towels, water and coffee in certain locations.  Some employees describe their work teams as "the island of lost toys" because of the mixed results of mergers and downsizings.  Promotions are simply out of concept.
