Pros

Management is very smart and focused. Wells Fargo was able to avoid the majority of the subprime mess that is affecting a lot of banks right now due to its management. The company has laid off very few people thus far (nothing close to the likes of Citibank or Wachovia) and the majority of these people that lost their jobs were able to be placed into new positions within the company if they so choosed. The company has great benefits like the 401k plan with a company match of $1 for $1 up to 6%, discounted medical, dental, and vision plans, and 25 days of paid time off. The company also is employee friendly allowing team members to volunteer during work hours, work a flexible schedule, and train as often as you like.

Cons

The salaries offered through Wells Fargo are often on the lower end of the payscale compared to similar positions at different companies. Part of the reason could be the lower cost of living in the midwest (Iowa), which is where I work, but the positions' salaries still seem lower compared to other midwestern cities. Annual raises are also low compared to similar positions at other companies. Also, most positions do not include a bonus or profit sharing plan. The company also can have too many corporate levels within a department, meaning too many middle managers between the top executives and the entry level positions.

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!
