Pros
I worked here for almost 10 years and loved it until about 6 months ago. Previously, Wells Fargo had inspirational leaders who valued employees and their development. They were envolved and proactively mentored me to help me get to the next level.
Cons
When Colleen shared that 2026 would look and feel differently. I don’t think many of us realized just how true that statement would become. This year has brought me a great deal of clarity—clarity about what I value professionally, what I need to continue growing, and the kind of environment where I can do my best work. After much reflection and seeing that most of the top talented leaders resigned, I decided I had no choice but to move on and pursue a new opportunity. This was not an easy decision. At the same time, I’ve learned how important it is to feel genuinely valued—to feel seen, heard, supported, and appreciated for the contributions you make. That recognition is not a luxury; it is essential for both personal and professional growth. The “New” Wells Fargo doesn’t care about you being a top performer and a great leader for the last decade. Like many others, I was intentionally passed over for promotions to make a way for a new external hires. Often, they had no clue how to do the job that you had been exceeding in. It seemed as if they mandated to hire all new leaders from one particular financial institution regardless of knowing that they were capable of leading and inspiring people.
