Pros

- pay is bad within the industry, but above par for what you do - non-pay benefits are good (for example maternity-leaves, etc) - people are friendly (arrogance, etc exists but less than other companies within the industry) - company has a strong brand value

Cons

- bureaucracy and politics x 100 - changes are very slow - people not driven to make improvements - performance has a tendency of not getting rewarded - skill development ignored, no investment from the firm - mobility is half a myth - middle management structured in my complicated way. this glorifies the management job but creates large amounts of headcount waste. - sometimes it feels like there are more managers and MDs than the actual works (analyst/associate levels) - high performers leave the firm first

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.
