A helpful employee!
A Chase customer was having a hard time getting an answer to their question so they posted the question in an online forum. A Chase employee from a random Midwest branch answered his question online, very competently. This is a clear indication that Chase DOES have some helpful people working for them. As a customer, you are best served by finding the useful people; go to several of the branches around you to find which has the friendliest and most helpful people and develop personal relationships with them. This is one way to survive Chase.
