Well-Rounded and Detail Heavy
Pros: Loved the work environment at JPM. Everyone is extremely friendly and the Plano office is brand-new and beautiful (still being built as of now actually). 
Management is demanding but if you're working at the analyst level, thats exactly what you want in order to improve your work and pace to match what is expected in the investment banking world. 
The amount of resources JPM provides its employees in terms of financial databases, research reports, periodical subscriptions, market transaction summaries, etc., is unparalleled. If you enjoy learning about finance, you will be in paradise by the amount of resources they provide for you to stay sharp on current events as well as to more generally learn about the industry. 
What's more, I received a pretty great benefits package. 28 days PTO with 6 sick days and 3 personal days. Health insurance is top notch too.
Cons: While management is great, they can often times be difficult to reach. They are so busy that the ability to stop them and ask them something you have a question on can be a daunting task in itself as they pretty much always have something going on that takes precedence over questions from their analysts. 
Not really a con (this is something important for everyone working in finance) but attention to detail is KEY. What seems like a tiny insignificant oversight can often be blown up to become a large issue. 
Work-life balance (especially during an active deal) can suffer immensely. Though the amount of alotted time off is substantial, good luck actually getting to use it all.
