This is a good entry level position, but not so much opportunity for career development if you begin in retail banking. - Licensed Personal Banker Chase Employee Review

Pros

There are numerous locations, the benefits were good and the training was excellent.

Cons

In general, branch and assistant branch managers rarely understood how to implement directives coming from upper management. The intent of the goals became distorted as compensation was linked to performance Their concern was maintaining their jobs and hitting their numbers instead of doing what was in the best interest of the customer. Also, if you were a retail banking employee it was almost impossible to transfer to back office or investment banking unless it was related to mortgage processing.

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.***
