Strong platform - but lacking ambitions

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The platform has a lot of financial muscle and with the right vision and systems it could do even better.

Cons

Generally the company is very cost focussed and that shows in everything from office furniture to the expense policy. The company is also known for paying less than competitive companies.

Business Outlook

Pros

National footprint.....one of the last big banks still standing.

Cons

Leadership does not live up to the "printed" materials re: associate engagement. Additonally, the organizational structure does not clearly give ownership over specific business units, which leads to a lack of accountability.

Not an easy place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

I have received some of the best training in the industry at Wells Fargo. Initially you will only receive product and system training, but if you show promise and given extra training you may have the opportunity to receive training from some very experienced and helpful trainers.

Cons

Be prepared for being underpayed and underappreciated. Each year your sales goals will increase while your bonuses decrease. If you want a fairly realistic (albeit hilarious) example of the pressure one sees check out the "morning huddle" videos on youtube. The sales pressure is extremely high with little support from upper management. The upper management has either not worked at this level ever, or in a very long time. Also, I hope you enjoy being micromanaged because that seems to be the only way that upper management works.
