An OK place to work
Pros: JPMC has excellent an excellent benefits package.  Everything imaginable is covered at a reasonable cost.  There are lot's of opportunities to pick up and learn a variety of skills (if you don't mind transferring departments on a regular basis.  Although such transfers frequently require relocating to OH, TX, or AZ.  There isn't much room to move upwards but you can make your way if your careful & patient.
Cons: JPMC has a frustrating amount of bureaucracy and despite policies meant to do otherwise; there is a formidable glass ceiling; good luck getting past lower/mid level management if you're a minority.  The pay is mediocre especially when compared to other financial firms and recently the frequent job cuts have made for a very demoralized environment
