Pros

Job security, reasonably good benefits, and a great atmosphere within certain divisions/groups (like mine). The workload is very reasonable, great accommodation of work/life balance issues, and just decent people overall (at least in my group).

Cons

Weak salary and bonus - I guess they get away with it because enough people want to work for a Fortune 50 company that they'll take the jobs (I have some unique geographical constraints that keep me here). Despite what you're told by HR, no one is ever allowed to earn more than the midpoint for their salary range. I love the group I work with, but am amazed at the pitiful level of internal customer service by WF support departments, and have heard horror stories about the work environment in other areas. Working here is like working for the government - there's a policy for everything, and you don't know what they all are, or even how to find them - they're used against you when it's convenient for someone to do so. Innovation and thinking outside the box are discouraged. Also, every time I read an email from HR, it seems it's about some benefit we've enjoyed being taken away (cash balance pension, PTO days, etc.). Someone in a review said WF is the Wal-Mart of banks - I think that's a perfect analogy.

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!
