While Chase itself is a good bank to have, this location is the worst! Don't expect to get into the…read moreATM machine after hours even IF there are employees inside. The card reader that is supposed to let you inside doesn't even work! I tried to get into the bank to access the ATMs and the reader wasn't working. I saw that there were employees still inside and I knocked on the window to grab their attention to show that I am a chase holder and was trying to get into the ATMs. The asian male with glasses just shooed me away and kept talking with the other employee inside. Even the security guard that was inside didn't even bother trying to help. It seems like after the bank is closed, the employees at this location don't care about their customers and only themselves. This location needs to get their atm reader to work to let us customers get access to the ATM machines and also replace these employees because they only care about themselves once they are "closed" for business.

But the representative who I had the appointment with was not there and there were no notes in their system about the purpose of our meeting. So I waited and was ushered to someone else who didn't know what the appointment was about. They had not informed us in advance about required materials that we were to bring, which differed from our other banks. And I ended up speaking with three different people who shuffled me off to different work stations. I decided to withdraw our funds from the bank but I was told that their systems were down so they did not honor my request. On top of this time suck circus the representatives scolded me, the customer for pushing back. Sadly, most large banks treat customers as if we were not valuable. But this place deserves special recognition for being awful and unprofessional.

It appears free-roaming managers behind the the windows never look up to temporarily step in to clear the line. I came inside because my ATM deposit was rejected repeatedly and I sought to know why. As the only person in line, I waited 30 minutes and once I was "helped" I met with admonitions and scolding because I didn't have my driver's license (I was only using the ATM!) and the curtness and impatience of the Staff person was an abysmal experience. And he never did answer my initial query: what should I do next time so I can deposit my checks via ATM (god knows I never want to go inside again). I'm taking my dough and going somewhere else
