Pros

From my experience, JPMorgan has many intelligent employees who are good to work with. They also support mobility within the company. A big bank like JPM has some of the biggest technology challenges, so therefore also interesting technology work.

Cons

The huge size of the company can make people who aren't natural networkers not succeed as well as they might in a smaller place where their work is easier to recognize. Also, the performance review and inter-ranking process is very tough as a manager, and can be unfair in some cases.

Advice to Senior Management

JPMorgan should seriously consider revamping the performance review process, to make it less subjective and reliant on abilities of your own manager to present your case in an impactful way.

Pros

Great Mobility
Great Office Locations
Technology Teams

Too many merger integration
Too many systems that do the same thing

Advice to Senior Management

it is a very, very big company. I had a qualm and contacted someone about it... this went to 3 other people before it got back to me.

Advice to Senior Management

great job

Pros

Cool name on your resume

Cons

The most stressful job I've ever had. I literally had nightmares and couldn't sleep at night because of the amount of sales you have to produce and close per month. You have to push clients to sign up for products they don't want and don't even need! You have to stop them in the lobby and force them to sit down at your desk. And who cares if they only came in to make a quick deposit? Who cares if they are on their lunch break? Who cares if they already have 10 Chase credit cards, an auto loan, a mortgage loan, an insurance, checking and savings and a business account! Sign them up for more stuff! You have to drill them with a robatic 1-2-3 drill that Chase created (watch 1 2 3 drill on youtube). And if you don't produce and your numbers are low, guess what, you'll be fired in no time! It's better to wash floors and clean toilets than to work for a disguisting bank like Chase. Shame on this bank! Stay away from this torture!

Advice to Senior Management

grow up and leave your bankers alone. Stop using this stupid 123 drill and stop pushing customers to sign up for stuff they don't need. You guys need to change your entire employee policy and procedures or else you will end up loosing fantastic bankers due to your ignorant rules.

Pros

Many opportunities to grow and advance career

Cons

Too much bureaucracy, things move slowly, lots of internal meetings

Pros

Many of the employees who work there are friendly and interested in helping you develop as an employee. The benefits and reward perks for employees are great.

Cons

Many within the management tier were promoted due to popularity and performance not on skills and ethics, which made working for these managers very challenging. Ethics and company protocol say one thing and the managers say another.

Advice to Senior Management

Focus not only in promoting not only those individuals who perform at sales but those who show natural leadership qualities that other employees would be willing and eager to follow and perform for.
