Inspiring CEO - Jamie Dimon

Cons

From my experience I can say - financially not rewarded for the efforts and measurable benefits brought to the bank in a sales position. This is contrary to the general promise the company gives to employees before they sign-up also as per their homepage promises. It seems JP Morgan pays below the market average in comparable roles to other Financial Institutions in terms of fixed and flexible compensation.

Advice to Senior Management

Stick and implement the doctrine of JPMorgans CEO - Jamie Dimon a truly inspirational character

Cut bureaucracy should this ever be in the way of getting deals done
Provide adequate training opportunities to employees - as requested/required
Financially reward your employees to match industry average and also reflect the superior position in the market according to JPMorgans profits. It is not consistent to show how much profits are made, and how well JP Morgan performs in the market, but not to pay-up and reward the people who bring in the profits
