Great place to learn
Pros: The job will help you work on a lot of core skills including, writing, critical thinking, public speaking, financial modelling and analysis, and relative valuation/idea generation. You also benefit from access to a broad array of resources working on the sell-side that may or may not be there on the buy-side. Overall, a great way to "cut your teeth" and learn many skills that you can take with you wherever you go.
Cons: As a junior analyst you will most often need to look outwards (either for another role within J.P. Morgan or at a different company) for upward mobility given that the next rung on the "corporate ladder" in the group is to be senior analyst and those opportunities will depend on luck and timing (relocation can also be a way to make senior analyst. Not exactly a "con" but the other consideration you should think about is that you work in a small team so communication and developing rapport with the senior analyst you support is a MUST.
