Q&A With JPMorgan Chase & Co Employees

Depends on what line of business you are working in.

Don’t have them

No holiday party. You get two drink coupons and some appetizers- if you are lucky! They don’t get you a pizza lunch... cheap, cheap,cheap !

Medical, Dental,Vision and 401k

Pretty consistent

Slow. Not what I like

Usually very busy. Not much down time.

It’s hard to say. So many departments are growing

Consumer is growing fast. Trading Markets business has slowed.

Compiling with government regulations wasn't one of the fastest. Not sure was part was having difficulties.

People pretty much love the CEO. It depends on what lines of business you are in. Management has it pros and cons.

Jamie Diamond is great

Employees have a lot of respect for Jamie Dimon. He's almost a "rock-star" CEO. He's a great speaker and employees were very enthusiastic whenever he had his town halls.

Not sure

5-7yrs

5-10 years

Yes

Once a year

Merit based and annually.

Maybe once a year

Not at all

Very difficult- lots of work

Yes. I work in a in-store so were open longer

Any one can succeed you have to want it and work hard for what you want

The right people

People who do more than what is expected of them.

The hours I work

The customers and my co workers

I was self directed most of the time when I worked for the CTO.

Well challenged, if often annoyed

Not enough

I was able to keep up with my work even though I was busy. Admins for some lower level managers weren't so busy all the time.

They are awesome couldn’t ask for a better group

Each person usually is concerned with doing their job. Not much social interactions in many areas.

Great people to work with.

Mine was great. Heather Mchone made me feel like I was part of the group before I was evened hired

Usually had to interview with many people from different areas of the bank even if the job wasn't in their area in addition to the hiring manager. Each people would then write out an evaluation of the person being interviewed. The hiring manager and his manager would review all the evaluations.

It takes too long, even for internal candidates to get interviews. By the time they call many wonderful candidates already have other jobs.

They got rid of most of the ABMs and replaced them with LTOs, but yet the LTOs do not get the year end bonus but the ABMs do. Plus the ABMs get a higher quarter bonus Whn the LTOs do more work because there only a few ABMs left

The atmosphere is so competitive that it can be very draining and exhausting. In the area where I work we were told that the requirements would be getting tougher for promotions. Working 110 percent wasn't enough. We had to give more.

Award people more on merit and not for politically correct or PR reasons.

If your in the right click

Promotions can be hard to come by and are very competitive. Easier to get promoted if you come into company under a training program out of college.

It's very political. It certainly is not based simply on performance.

Great

Vacation policy is standard to other companies. Non-exempt employees start with 2 weeks vacation and exempt employees start with 3 or 4 weeks depending on their job title.

Generous. Most workers in professional roles get 1 month of vacation.

The people and the values that they stand for

The opportunity to learn and take as many online classes as possible.

See previous answer

1 month for everyone. Good luck using all of it

Yes, the higher the seniority level the more vacation they start with.

Do you mean tea, coffee, soda, etc

No one drink at work.

No alcohol allowed

Poor

Up and down.

You are here for yourself . Always present best foot forward. Stick to your commitments. Be prompt in replies. Be Available at different communication channels.

Start looking for a new job

There isn’t one

It depends on your manager. There is a policy for working from and a flexible work agreement, but it has to be approved and signed off by your senior management.
