JPMorgan Chase Reviews

Good first job out of college, many locations so you can transfer to a branch closer to home. Excellent systems to work with.

Tier 1 Firm, Internal Mobility are the best reasons that a person has to work in this firm like GS

Cons

People work extremely hard here, extra hrs, weekends are common

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the good work

Pros

comparable pay for industry, good benefits, lots of opportunity for advancement, many resources available for career advice, excellent online and mobile products, teller referral bonuses, tons of locations, most store-level managers are willing to coach and grow your career, company technology support is open to employee recommendations and comments.

Cons

starting pay is lower than many smaller banks, raises are not given voluntarily; you have to negotiate, workdays are potentially long, the bank is open on Saturdays, a lot of public animosity toward large banks, application process can be unnecessarily long (applications are only accepted online, a recruiter narrows the pool and then each branch interviews final candidates)

Advice to Senior Management

Allow branch management more opportunity to identify candidates.

Pros

I learn something new everyday, plenty of opportunities to learn. Great amounts of overtime worked, but they compensate well for it. Management is good, just hate dealing with some of the back offices overseas.

Cons

High Volumes of work. Hard to get things done when the back offices are so risk adverse. Other internal departments you deal with will quickly throw you under the bus for problems they cause.

Advice to Senior Management

Grow your employees, mentor them. Hire more competent employees and get rid of some of the old dead weight ones that have been there forever.
