Great benefits, but not much growth potential

Pros

benefits are better here than most places.

Cons

Difficult to advance career. JP Morgan Chase is a great place to work when you're starting out or when you're not interested in any more career advancement. If you're new, you'll learn a lot, but as you continue to put in years there, you'll realize that your career isn't really advancing as you'll be stuck doing the same thing basically forever. That can be a problem, but if you're older and don't care to find a new job or move up the ladder, it's a great place to work into retirement.

Pros

I was exposed to a high volume of transactions (something recruiters typically like to see). The company gave me increasingly harder and more complex deals to look at as I became more experienced. Their vacation policy was generous, I had the standard two week/yr previously and when I joined the investment bank it automatically became four weeks. You will never be able to take that much vacation with the workload, but it does help if you are laid off (which I was) or need to take a leave of absence since you must use your vacation first. The bank also likes to keep up with technology, probably stemming from the top--it's a priority for Jamie Dimon.

Cons

Its an investment bank so you will work long, long hours. There is hardly any administrative support. The organization is flat and unless you are politically savvy, then you will toil in your cubicle. Further, I worked in a regional office so it is very difficult to make much headway when no one from senior management sees you face to face everyday. I noticed that those who started at the same time, but worked in the NY main office did much better than those who worked elsewhere. There is a hyperfocus on containing costs and expenses, again, this being a priority of Jamie Dimon.

Pros

Great Diversity, Benefits, Opportunity for growth, Advanvement, etc. Major focus on your individual development as well as company growth. Clear and consistent communication was another huge plus. Very strong Management team. Talent is abundant throughout the organization.

Cons

Economic downturn really weakened some of the opportunities and caused some layoffs. Company dedicated to meeting bottoms lines so will make decsions in the best interests of shareholders and not employees.
