Pros

Wells Fargo has much to offer to it employees in terms of benefits, work life balance, and commitment to it's employees.

Cons

The compnay is very large and you can get lost in the shuffle. There is no real governance over information technology, so $$s are spend on projects not necessary or run inefficiently. This takes away from $$s for other projects. Opportunity for advancement depends on your "good ol' boy" skills and navigation of the political arena.

Pros

The benifits were good and then incentive plan for sales was a good way to get you to push yourself. Conservative company so you know it was stable

Cons

Conservative company so pay was ok in relatation to others, plus now they only offer 401k. They dropped the cash balance pension plan. Demanding on the sales.
