Personal Narrative: My Chase Bank Experience

Decent Essays
During the begging of the semester, the MidFirst Bank on MU is usually very long with new students trying to create new accounts and setting up IDs, etc. I went there because I had to deposit money or solve another problem, but I had a lot of things to get done that day so I was very anxious and wanted to get in and out.

Therefore, based on the article, MidFirst Bank could have improved their service if all the balconies were working during those busy times of the year. Moreover, Chase Bank has cabinet divisions which encourage less talking during the time they are working and it helps to make the wait appear more

    From an interview that didn’t go too well, to an interview that helped me grow, my customer service professional informational interview took place at a Company that didn’t hire me a year prior.

I was referred to Nate from Becky Shand, my Strategic Customer Service instructor. Nate was one of her past students.
