Pros

Among Wall St banks, this is a less type-A and more ethical culture than the other ones. The people tend not to be too into themselves Very encouraging for mobility, including international moves Plenty of positions within the firm and many stay for long careers or even come back from competitors

Cons

Things move slowly - too big and bureacratic with so many signoffs on everything Siloed departments means sometimes resources are safely guarded instead of shared for best practices or efficiency Benefits are not always as good as competitors but decent

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.
