Pros

Salary is good for someone right out of school and you can make a lot more if you work you tail off. Some of the people truly are great people and from many walks of life.

Cons

Looong work days possible when meetings in the morning and a call night all in the same day. The incentive package is misrepresented to look so easy and amazing (to me it was anyway) and then later to find there are many stipulations before being paid. While I was there the incentive for quite a few items either cut in half or went away all together. The sales focus is morally wrong!! Making an 89 yr old man sign up for a credit card just bc the mgr says so when he has 5 already he doesnt use and or may be on a fixed income is not "whats best for the customer" in my opinion its whats best for the Mgmt bonus and the company and I dont work like that!

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.***
