Pros

1.Some team members care about their customers and ethical behavior. 2. Pay for tellers is good.

Cons

1. Pushing sales is the only factor management cares about. And I mean Management from the top down. 2. Your pay will always be below the national average on any position higher than teller. They like to hire at roughly 80-90% of the national average and you will get 2% or inflation only in raises per year, ignoring cost of living increases, meaning your pay is only going to become worse over time. They told team members the best way to get a good raise is to get a promotion, or to change what part of the business you work for. This causes people who are good and have experience at one part of the job to switch to something they may not be as good at, sometimes in management and they have no good leadership qualities themselves. 3. Are EXTREMELY against unions. Mentioned one once and within a few hours got an email from HR about it. 4. They talk a lot about their "culture" and how great it is, but anything Wells Fargo does that is good for a community is the bare minimum they can do and get positive publicity from it. 5. Personal anecdote, but I told the employee relations that I felt like my manager was trying to get me fired as she made several comments talking about how she wished she didn't hire me and that she knows how to work the system to protect herself from any backlash about why she would fire me. Told all this to employee relations, she acts nice for a week and employee relations tells me I should be happy that she's treating me better. Then she fires me and they closed the case. Thanks for watching out for me Employee relations! =] /s

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!
