I create a new appointment on my iPhone (Fully updated) for 2pm central time and then save it. I go back to look at my calendar later in the day and it shows everything in eastern timezone. So my appointment that is for 2pm central time is showing 3pm est. When I click on the individual appointment it shows 2 times the central timezone and the eastern timezone. My date and time settings are set to automatic Chicago. TimeZone Override is off. What could be causing this?
 
Events syncing via iCloud or other (ie. Exchange, Google, other)? Stock Calendar app or 3rd party?

Otherwise, sounds like your settings are correct.
 
Did you double check to make sure Calendar is allow to use Location Services?

Is that the "Location Suggestions" toggle? If so that is toggled on.

Exchange, since its my work calendar.
 
So if I want my calendar to always keep the meetings for the Central timezone no matter where I am at should I enable TimeZone override and set it to Chicago?
 
I had a similar issue* and enabling TimeZone override (i.e. disable 'Set Automatically' in Date & Time) is what fixes it for me.

* I had an issue with summer/winter time when using 'Set Automatically' set to ON: when in August I created an appointment in a gmail calendar in December, it showed up in the calendar with a one hour difference, as if it wanted to show me when that meeting would be would there be no wintertime. Disabling 'Set Automatic' fixed this, the same appointment jumped back to the time as I entered it.
 
If you want to keep the TZ as CST/CDT no matter what, yes, turn on TZ Override.

Can't speak to Exchange calendars as I do not use them, but, have heard others with that issue. Either server settings, account settings on the Exchange side. I do use the TZ field with Apple's native calendar and have not had odd issues with timezones.

Only time I have seen is when I tried a third party app that allowed setting timezones for Reminders: had similar happen to the Reminders, but then also messed up Calendar entries (for some odd reason).

it could also simply being caused by you ur calendar view is set to Eastern Time Zone in the upper right of the Calendar window.

I dont see anything in the upper right of calendar window that has any settings. I have the + to add an event the search icon and the 3 lines to change the view to list.
 
I believe you can login to your work Outlook Calendar and under settings for events from email you can manually set the timezone to your desired and it should override iOS timezone on the device

Then, relaunch mail to re-sync on the device

That's the desktop app, not iOS.
