Chase reviews

The pay is terrible in comparison to other financial institutions. They give you more and more responsibility over the years and no more pay. Worked there over ten years and got little or no raises annually. They continuously decrease the incentive plan and lie about how much money you can make. Long hours and lots of stress.

Flexibility is a DIRTY WORD at Chase. Policies were put into place in 2015 that eliminated all flexible scheduling and telecommuting. Even working remotely one day a week is strictly prohibited. While work life balance is touted, the company doesn't walk that talk. Having worked here for many years during which flexibility was embraced, the change is very disappointing. Working 1-2 weekends a quarter is expected for releases without ever being given comp time. Managers also candidly admit you are expected to work more than 40 hours to be considered for high ratings or promotions. Working smarter rather than harder isn't recognized appropriately. People are packed into the tech hub like sardines in a bench desk environment. There is a ton of quiet and collaborative space in the building; however, this doesn't work for our non-laptop culture. The environment is loud and it is difficult to concentrate. There is a ton of beaurocracy. With all the regulations of the financial industry, this is understandable to a degree; however, we pile process on top of process. If you want an environment where you can quickly affect change, Chase is not the place for you!
