Pros

Great benefits. 5 weeks vacation plus holidays your first year of work if you are salaried, 20 days for first two years if you are hourly then 25 days after that. If you are there a long time you can get up to 35 days plus holidays. Most departments offer flex hours and they are always willing to work with you on your work life balance. The company has huge ethical standards and goes against flow when it comes to shady products. The company is well protected and very stable. There are lots of development opportunities within Wells Fargo. Lots of people truly care about helping you succeed.

Cons

Hard to give or get a promotion. You have to interview for everything! Pay is not what it should be. Everything is given a midpoint and in certain groups you can start there, but for the most part, your going to be stuck at 85% of the midpoint at the most, and in some groups you will start at the lowpoint. They also don't give any emphasis on education. Its just as easy for people who don't have a degree to get a position that would normally require a degree. Also the company is in segments and many people do not communicate with other groups that would make Wells Fargo stronger.

Pros

Benefits (but cost creeping up and coverage creeping down each year), Good Morale Both Management and Coworkers, and Honestly a Great Company.

Cons

Cross Selling is the only focus now, firing employees who are great at their job in every area that should matter but if the cross selling results are not meeting the ever ridiculous quota (which continues to rise) than you may not have a job next month. Expectation for customers to say yes to cross selling, leaving you with no real control of your job security. Stress!
