Pros

Low level management is usually as supportive as they are allowed to be. Great people working at WF overall. People are normally very willing to help you. Has some good benefits like 4 months paid parental leave. Once you get in you can move around somewhat easily. work/life balance is good unless you are an analyst of some sort.

Cons

Poor company/staff moral. Lots of layoffs and on the banking side you are forced to reapply for the job you currently have. No surprise when the keep only the people they can pay less. If you are in a field that isn't banking specific then the upper level management runs the show but doesn't know how things operate at the lower levels. In the WF tech world its normal to see managers overseeing an engineering group who have no engineering experience. Mid level/upper level management in tech fields are normally MBA's with a finance background who know little about the systems they support. Most of the systems and processes make no sense. Every 2-3 years everything changes depending on who's in charge and before the dust settles it changes again... usually to the way it was prior. You can bet that management will always go for the cheaper option vs the better option. Scandal after scandal after government mandate was caused by poor sr. management. Many of those managers are still around but were moved to different areas of the bank.

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!
