Pros

*A very progressive financial institution. *Given your area or market within the firm, can be very flexible as to tasks/responsibilities you would like to take ownership of and can be (stress "can be") adaptable to work and home life balance. *One will gain an exorbinent amount of transferrable skills if you keep your nose to the grindstone, absorb all that the firm associates its brand with relative to inner-workings and outside interests. *Ambassadorship - and its value - can not help but be learned, attained and gained if one embraces JPM's core business model(s).

Cons

*It VERY MUCH feels as though the inmates are running the assylum. *JPM is so far from understanding what it literally takes to manage relationships both internally as well externally -- while "banking" the money is important it is even more pressing to develop genuine relationships. *It would behoove the firm to adopt a Jim Collins attitude as he gets it right in his book Good to Great, “People are not your greatest asset; the right people are!” *If JPM went from "good to great", clients would be exempt from the burden of the firms high turnover rate; meaning, client's would not have to experience insurmountable turnover of bankers/investors/wealth advisors/trust officers, etc. relative to their accounts and they would not have to feel/experience uncertainitity with "who" is managing their assets.

Pros

-location & team are important. I had an amazing team and location. Rare, but amazing for making money when aligned. -you can learn the financial industry -reputable company, great CEO -you are highly compensated to win over affluent families banking/wealth/lending relationships.

Cons

-we have 5 managers and each of them get replaced bi-annually. -The management hired does not know anything about finance, yet tasked to manage financial professionals. Zero standards for recruitment. Imagine this: An accounting firm is looking for a new accountant. The manager goes out and hires 5 "accountants" but not a single one of them is a CPA. You think, "how could this happen?" That's JPMC for you. -HIGH PRESSURE SALES TACTICS.***
