Good Place to Work - Lots of Red Tape
Pros: JP Morgan is a pretty good place to work. The company is well run considering the size. Pay is decent, most people are nice, there is room to move up due to its large size.
Cons: A lot of red tape and bureaucracy. New rules and regulations every single day; JP Morgan goes overboard in complying. They do that to cover themselves, but it becomes a massive burden on employees who spend all their time trying to comply and less time doing actual work. 
Also, at least in the Private Bank, there are a lot of employees who are children of clients. You can tell they are treated more favorably than employees who got there on sweat and effort. I can't blame them for doing it because it helps the business, but it's just plain unfair.
