Pros

Some excellent and very helpful people work at Wells Fargo at the lower levels. The will go out of their way to help you understand what needs to be done. In fact I got a call from one of them telling me a bit about what had been happening in the background. Told me not to take it too hard as it probably was just some budgetary thing from on high.

Cons

Somewhat squirrelly and arbitrary I was told by a couple of others who were nice enough to talk with me. They tend to treat people as plug in widgets with no concern for employee morale. They tend to hire and fire, especially contractors without thinking about the people. Rarely if ever give a reason for letting someone go. Almost no communication up and down the food chain. You can get moved from one group to another and not know it until later. Team leads are not told much about what the reasons are for the actions of upper management and often are not even told when a team member is being released.

Pros

Cared a lot about their employees, lots of good networking and growth opportunities.

Cons

To many issues with sales goals, often pointless in smaller communities.

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!
