Pros

This is a healthy bank run by a shrewd businessman.

Cons

The role of the manager is not a professional, but a para-professional sales coach. The community outreach, relationship building and networking opportunities are non-existent, especially compared to peers at other institutions and WaMu. Also, the sales culture is one of fear, intimidation and negative reinforcement from the senior retail leaders on down to the district managment.

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.***
