chase and bad credit

I have applied for a job with chase and I have bad credit. Does a poor credit history have a barrier w/employment for this company?

All banks/financial institutions consider past credit as an employment decision. Many will not hire someone that has had bad credit. They consider someone with bad credit a "risk." Whether that is fraud or theft, it's all in where they consider the risk. This isn't only with positions that handle money within the bank either. Overall, they don't like the appearance of someone not being able to handle their own expenses when dealing with someone elses. Bottom line is having good credit if you want to work in this field. Many other fields are going the same direction for the same reasons. I've seen many turned away for employment due to bad credit.
