Building Opportunity Here

“I love that at BCIB, we’re giving opportunities to so many people that would get overlooked otherwise. I love seeing all the equity and diversity. I see a lot more women working now.

“People are now being treated equally, which shouldn’t be too much to ask. You don’t want someone dreading coming to work because of how they’re being treated.”

Building Careers Here

“Now with BCIB, I’m more comfortable and I’m more secure. When I get different job offers, I don’t want to leave. It’s different for me now because I’m planted in one job with one company. It’s starting to feel like a career and I never felt that before.”

Building Community Here

“I’ve lived in and around Chase for 30 years. It’s nice when you can wake up in your own bed and be at your jobsite in 15 minutes. It’s unheard of. I spend more time with my kid now that he works with me than I ever did when he was growing up.”
