Pros

Being a JPA is not a work description since it could mean anything from working in IT to WBI. But I have the good side I think and work on operations directly, get to work with the client, travel and get real exposure and learning. I am loving the actual job

Cons

But the compensation and restrictions associated with being a JPA not so much. I have to leave after 2 years not to come back for at least the 2 following years. The salary is not what it should be (they set the minimum requirement to be a Bachelors degree but the truth is that 90% of the JPAs have masters which makes the salary not the most fair)
