"Coaching Culture"
Pros: Starbucks onsite. 4 weeks vacation.
Cons: "Coaching culture" - which JMPC is very proud of, means your boss(es) look hard to find something to rip apart in your work product, regardless of how successful you are with clients, or whether your work is multitudes better than theirs. It's a constant rip-fest, and it gets old. This "coaching" is not constructive or helpful criticism - but is bitter and insulting. 

Abusive managers are fully tolerated. I was screamed at on a plane in front of subordinates and passengers, had my (female) manager start a fight with people on a rental bus, had a manager throw a tantrum and throw things in an office, and more. I had supervisors go to subordinates and encourage them to not work with me. Those people are alive and well at Chase. 

I've since went on to another bank and have been praised and promoted for my work. At Chase, 75% of promotions are allocated to women and minorities, so forget it about that promotion if  you don't fit those. Raises are minimal, even for top performers. Work space is a goat stall (tiny cube)  for workers up to VP level; and more than a dozen people are within hearing distance.  Parking at the Columbus office is bad - if you have a morning appointment and get to work after 9:30, you'll be walking for 20-30 min. or taking a shuttle.  

I've never seen a worse company.  And that apparently, is how they like it.  Job boards are filled with hundreds of open positions at Chase, and every recruiter I've spoken with has said "I won't work at Chase" is a constant refrain from top candidates.
