JPMorgan Chase Reviews

Pros

My manager is fantastic!
New benefits package is really great. Hearing aid coverage.. which anyone who has them will realize is a huge thing for a company to cover.

Cons

Schedule flexibility is essentially non-existent
Plenty of sick days however unless you have FML status you get docked for using them
Advancement can be tough... hard to move between lines of business for example

Advice to Senior Management

Internal hiring! Look at the strengths you have and allow people to move and grow. I shouldn't be still on the phone after completing a bachelor's degree and half of a masters degree however every position I apply for, I get a decline to interview letter.

Pros

Professional, respectful, team, atmosphere, job growth

Cons

Long hours, difficult to openness

Advice to Senior Management

Look for more people in mid-management roles to advance to the top.

Pros

great work environment (people friendly and supportive), good work-life balance compared to other banks, many resources to learn for the self-motivated, international network and brand

Cons

Training opportunities in China Mainland lack structure. It would have been nice to see a 10-week structured program as present in Hong Kong. The lack of structure makes learning opportunities more ad hoc and your basis of knowledge often times feels shaky having no formal training course.

Advice to Senior Management

Institute a structured training program for analysts and summer analysts.

Pros

Very Flexible, great atmosphere, great company to work for..

Cons

you are rated by customer's subjective outlook on your service.

Pros

The best reason would be that the firm offers excellent Medical, 401K 5% matching and Retirement plan. Beginning this year, the company is concern about employee moral.

Cons

You have to ask "special questions" to find out about the customer lifestyle so you know which products to recommend to them at the end of the conversation. It's very slick how we are trained. The customer thinks you're showing interest in them. But the goal is to sell them more and more of Chase products (which is a great marketing scheme)

Advice to Senior Management

The training is well put together, they really train and motivate you to do better and better. But, it can be pushy at times. Management need to back off a little and give employees room to grow.

Pros

Good work life balance
Good leadership
Easy access to senior management

Cons

Pays less compare to similar jobs at other companies
Little to no mobility

Pros

Solid, dependable bank. Good management inside the investment bank even in a tough year. Compensation is higher with less deferred than some other banks.

Cons

It is a big bank with a big bureaucracy to feed and support. There are some annoyances associated with that (stupid, poorly enforced rules for example).

Advice to Senior Management

Remember to stay out of the way of people getting the work done. The "organizational announcement" emails about people doing abstract things at way above our pay levels gets old really quick and makes me think layers of bureaucracy are growing above my head faster than I can possibly climb.

Pros

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

Cons

The pay is not stable since a large part of it is incentive. Incentive is changed often, rarely for the better.

Pros

a great learning opportunity and a lot of exciting projects going on every day so that your life is great.

Cons

I love my job. So i did not see the cons. Might be long hours sometimes, but it worths it

Advice to Senior Management

More chance to meet with more junior people. But over all it is a great experience! I really like people and job

Pros

Great Compensation and chances to move up

Cons

No downside to working here unless you don't have hard work ethic

Advice to Senior Management

keep up with the great leadership
