Great benefits but terrible advancement for current employees
Pros: They truly have great benefits; 401K, employee stock, PTO and health insurance.
Cons: The biggest negative is that this specific location has the worst advancement opportunities for current employees .  They are the ones that come in every day work hard, take on extra hours, always help, are the most knowledgable and the ones that consistently get the job done.   The internal individuals that get ahead here are the ones that choose to play into the corporate politics game, are not very knowledgeable and spend large portions of their day getting in good with higher ups in order to get hired for a better position.  This all has created a very cliquey atmosphere between operations and other departments that are considered higher than operations.  Another important bit of info, external candidates especially those that have personal relationships with managers in the company are much more likely to get hired for desirable open positions even if they are under-qualified &/or lack experience.  
 Half of the management & supervisors are also some of the worst I've had at the company.  Not every employee eager for power should have a manager or supervisor title, there is a lot to be said for hiring real leaders as your managers versus 'yes people' that are unqualified & dishonest to their reporting employees.  
It's really disappointing to me because I know first hand not all JPMC locations are like this.  I previously worked at other locations that really helped their employees advance and continue their career growth, which is actually the JPMorgan way.  This location does not follow that.
