Chase reviews

-Moderate but increasing sales pressure! If you can't handle the pressure this isn't for you. You are EXPECTED to produce month over month. They will write you up if you have multiple bad months. -Year over year their monthly incentives are lowered with and it becomes more challenging to meet your expected sales. Bankers are making less then they used to because traffic has died down in the branches IMMENSELY due to technology, atms and mobile banking. Branches only have a maximum of 2 or 3 teller now. -Expected to be a telemarketer! Because branch traffic has died down they expect you to make calls all day every day, 30 to 40 calls and have scheduled call blocks with the Mortgage, Business and Financial Advisors in the branch. If you don't like the phones this isn't for you, the calls are a MUST!!! -CHASE CAN BE RUTHLESS. When it comes to policy and procedure they have ZERO tolerance for doing things your own way or bending the rules. They are big brother. You are constantly being watched. Don't bank there if you work there. They are all up in your business even if you think they aren't THEY ARE! I've seen so many people get let go for little things they didn't think was a big deal. Chase doesn't care YOU are not worth the risk! -If you have a heart and care about people, THIS JOB WILL COMPROMISE YOU. Chase only wants to work with rich people- this is evident in the products they offer and increasing focus on households with more then 250k. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT CUSTOMERS. Chase is all about the money and they are very black and white when it comes to approving products for people. You will want to do the right thing by clients but Chase will deny your customers the most basic products. There is no exceptions- No means no.

Bonuses will depend on the branch you are assigned, meaning is it a busy branch or slow branch? At busier branches, the walk-in traffic is sufficient to generate decent bonuses. If you get assigned to a slower branch, there will be an expectation to make a lot of calls to customers, book appointments for the financial advisor or the private banker. My branch was in a neighborhood with lots of retirees. They weren't interested in meeting with the FA or private client banker. At slower branches, expect to do a lot of mundane work with ordering checks and debit cards, resetting PIN numbers, reprinting statements, etc. Private banker, branch manager, it doesn't matter. It will be part of the job. Your breaks and lunches are usually dependant on lobby flow, and co-workers bad time management, so don't bother making lunch plans. As a full-grown adult, it grated on me to be told when I could take breaks & lunches. For upward mobility, expect to be in your position for YEARS before even being considered for another position, regardless of qualifications or experience. They want to know that you can 'produce' (bring in more assets) before they will move you up. I understand that, but in a low-volume branch that production will be a challenge. It may be a challenge to get to a busier branch too.
