Pros

The benefits package is quite competitive. Annual leave is also very good. There are many social activities and parking is free.

Cons

NOTE: I can only speak from my experience as an Instructional Designer. This was easily the worst employment experience I have ever had. The team I worked with specifically, lacked both professional and personal maturity in addition to managerial competence. I was hired externally to do instructional design (permanent position). There were other designers who came from the call-center, but nobody had actual technical skill or qualifications. There is very much a hire-now-train-and-coach later attitude, although after being hired, little to no training or coaching is given. The type of work itself was standard for ID, however lack of/resistance to standards and processes made the job unnecessarily difficult. The overall turnover rate for the company was quite high. Over a year and half, 3 instructional designers (myself included) left to look for jobs externally. I stayed for a little over a year. I personally found the work environment on my specific team to be extremely toxic. Be prepared to deal with egos, insecurity, dishonesty and lack of work ethic on a daily basis. For me, the compensation was not worth the drama. I definitely would not recommend!

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.***
