Chase reviews

In all honesty the reason why I left was that I wanted to put my college degree to more use and you really dont apply it to anything in this position. The career paths you can take in Chase retail were not very appealing to me. 1.) You can become a branch manager (probably after 5 yrs+) 2.) You can become a Small Business Banker (which is the same job a PB does but to small biz around your branch or selling to clients who want to start a new biz) 3.) Become a Financial Advisor (you have to be one of the TOP bankers in region probably take 5 yrs+) One HUGE thing that you need to watch out for is how territorial your fellow bankers are to their clients. I was in an area where there was alot of hispanic speaking customers and I didnt know spanish which was a BIG disadvantage! They stress to work as a team but as we all know not everyone is a teamplayer. Since this was my first job out of school they pay was the biggest issue for me because I was just excited to see money in my bank account but for someone who has a family/alot of expenses this job can be stressful. With every sales position there is that golden carrot "potential" of making big bucks. Dont get me wrong, there are personal bankers who are making 80K plus but unless you are a hotshot salesmen banker expect to make around 40k- 60k.

Transfers employees and management among branches very frequently. Just when you think you know somebody, they leave. 3 different managers in 4 months... very unnecessary. Way TOO much pressure to produce sales. The big wigs have a massive addiction to fattening their wallets. If their needs are met, they don't say anything, but if they have moths flying out of their wallets, you won't hear the end of it. Must wear JPMorgan Chase apparel. Not only have I seen more stylish clothing at a Halloween thrift store, but it's also very expensive and uncomfortable. And there's no straying away from Chase threads... if you wear pants just one shade lighter than black, they'll confiscate your legs so you'll no longer have a need for pants. Morning "huddles" that never present new information. What? We aren't meeting our sales goals and we need to force useless products on our customers? Gasp! Didn't see that one coming. Excessive rules and regulations that seem to change daily. There are seemingly endless rules that make no sense, are unnecessary, and are just weird. And just when you think you're finally learning all of them-- bam!! The indecisive bastards at the top change them. No opportunity for advancement and/or promotion. Let's see... you can go from part-time teller to full-time teller. Where to after that? Most likely retirement. The training program is grossly subpar. JPMorgan Chase must have stock in Visine because their e-training program is so excessive that your eyes will crust over. Then they send you to an off-site training program that you will leave more confused than when you arrived. Very boring, tedious, repetitive, and mind-numbing work. Inset check into scanner, type account number, validate check, and repeat. It's a regular roller coaster ride. I've considered training my dog to do it and sending him to work for me. No neurons required. Compensation is far from competitive. The cashier at Starbucks is paid more than me. Need I say more?
