Pros
Large company with seemingly endless opportunities for advancement and career growth. Even if you work in a smaller office or a city in which Wells does not have a large presence you could possibly relocate with the company or to move into a higher role across the huge nationwide footprint. Publicly traded company creates a competitive atmosphere in which Wells Fargo wants to pay for and retain top talent. A comprehensive benefit package with affordable costs to employees at all levels. Even in the wake of recent media coverage I personally have no doubts on the integrity or vision of the board, the CEO and executive leadership.
Cons
The office I am in is very understaffed. We have mandatory overtime which has been going on for years and working the long hours, early morning, late nights + traffic commuting is draining and eats up free time. I know they are trying to hire more but not a lot of qualified applicants for the specific work we do here. Not a con, but in spite of this I feel the pay here in our region is VERY competitive. Technology can be a problem. Wells has its own IT group developing most of the proprietary internal applications we use (which is mostly a good thing) however there can be pesky work-arounds for issues and new version rollouts are always a pain. It just requires more work for us front end employees when we are already overloaded.
