External Audit Coordinator (Business Credit / Field Exam)
Pros: Excellent Brand to be affiliated with.
Best to enter via the undergrad & graduate summer  internship programs.
Much to learn and aquire.
Great infrastructure.
Job stability.
Cons: JPMC has several lines of business that have split IDs, The Chase & JPMorgan brands. 
External Audit for large Commercial Loans has to balance both due to clients identifying w one vs the other.
Company HR has a very weird hidden metric regarding grade/salary level vs yrs of experience vs yrs of education, etc.
Better leaving the pack for 1-2 yrs to get promoted levels than staying internal.
National group w poor leadership.
Dept. Aging out, staffing wise; huge age divide which affects decision making and forward progress.
Project Managers that aren't qualified to hold the title; glorified secretaries for Managing Directors.
Not equipped to handle departmental staff conflicts & squabbles; old school vs new age
Remote work promise but at Manager's discretion
Constant firm wide realignment, so the dept is not sure who & which line of business it belongs/reports to... could be Chase Business Credit, Investment Bank, or Commercial Bank.
Has offices in NYC, Chicago, Ohio, Texas, and California, but not easy to move between locations.
Should focus on recruiting younger talent, avg. Dept age approx. 55 yrs.
Reputation as a Dept full of Lifers!
