Not perfect, but let's be realistic...
Pros: ...Nothing ever is. I have worked for two other companies in my career, and have found JPMorgan to be the best experience.  My first job was in an exteremely relaxed environment, and my second was exceptionally intense.  JPMorgan is right in the middle. Don't get me wrong, things can get a little crazy from time to time, but for the most part the work is manageable if you are operating at a high level.
Cons: Because of the merger between JP Morgan and Chase, we have to work with multiple systems across the private bank and retail side, which oftentimes do not communicate with eachother.  Also, a lot of operational work has been outsourced to Mumbai; cultural and linguistic barriers make this a cumbersome fact of every day life.
