Pros

I enjoyed the team I worked with. Benefits were good, flexibility of hybrid worked for me. I was able to advance in my career.

Cons

The company is in a constant state of change. I don't think I've witnessed the "end" of a change cycle in over four years. We change tacts before anything is achieved so we have no idea if anything we've been doing would have worked or if what we're about to do will work. That has different results in depending on where you sit in the business but in all ways, it's chaotic, damaging to morale and creates change fatigue. This is the core of any other "con" I could articulate. Sadly, what used to be a great overall culture (there are always exceptions in large institutions) in Wells Fargo has deteriorated. There were definitely issues in the bank that needed to be addressed but current management has also stripped the company of what made it feel like WF.

Pros

Great company to build experience and grow professionally. The benefits and PTO were excellent, and there were many opportunities for career development and internal growth. I learned a lot during my time there, especially in operations, customer service, and working in a fast-paced environment. Management was supportive and often acted more like career coaches, encouraging employees to develop new skills and move forward in their careers. I also built strong friendships and professional connections that I still value today.

Cons

The role could be demanding because Operations Managers often had responsibilities across multiple areas of the branch. At times, it felt like being the bridge between upper management, bankers, tellers, and customers all at once. In addition to management responsibilities, I was also expected to assist on the teller line, maintain a cash drawer, and help resolve escalated customer concerns. The workload could occasionally feel heavy for one person, especially in busy branches.

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!
