Pros

4 weeks vacation + national holidays. 401K match Great name on resume. Although I have a list of dislikes, I do have to say I attained a great set of skills which will be valuable to me going forward.

Cons

Long hours. No work life balance, expected to work weekends and nights. Promotions are non-existent, get the salary you want at the time of hire. Senior Management is harsh... they don't do much but sit around and expect you to coordinate everything and get the job done. In the end, they just want to look good to their manager. Lack of flexibility in schedule - they claim they permit you working from home, but they don't. Lack of diversity. Lack of appreciation when greatness is accomplished.

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.
