JPMorgan Chase Reviews in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX Area

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.
