Pros

There a lot of locations so it's easy to transfer if you must and get approval, the training program and experience looks good on resumes.

Cons

Too many, every day is the same horrible day of selling widgets to people that don't need them. Management is not educated or successful at managing, they simply had high sales numbers when they were producers, you have no control over some customer service and sales yet perfection is expected. I worked there for 7 years and couldn't be happier that I quit for a M-F less paying job.

Pros

-Good benefits. -Management was good at the branch I was at.

Cons

If you like an enviroment where someone higher than you is always making decisions for you and telling you what to do..,,,Then Wells Fargo Bank is your place. After being there for 8 months I was fed up with all the red tape and not being allowed to do just the simplest things without having someones approval. I don't know how many times I was cussed at by a customer because we where waiting for appoval on something from the manager....stuff that other banks just do automatically. Took the job as a teller in order to advance to a loan officer in the future and after about 7 months was offer that position. I wound up turning it down after I figured out a "personal banker" is not really a loan officer, but more of a glorified teller. These guys can't make any decisions either!!!
