Pros

Benefits are good. Looks ok on a resume.

Cons

They don't care about individual customers, only sales. If you think your job has anything to do with helping people to succeed financially you are looking at the wrong place to work. If you thrive on sales with no thought of the customer you will thrive here.

Pros

Great direct management within Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo also offers great benefits but the pay does not seem to be on par with the rest of the market.

Cons

Senior management seems to be out of the loop as to what is going on in sales and operations. Wells Fargo seems to implement new projects without review from the people it is directly effecting.

Pros

*Actually having a job *Benefits *Pay - although its not the best, its certainly not the worst either *Ease of job function - Brainless work. *No Micro-Managing

Cons

*Pay - Yes, i listed it above, but its also not what it should be for someone with this much experience *Ease of job function - Again, yes i listed it above, however it is too easy. I like a challenge and i feel like a 5 year old. *Management - my direct area of managers could use some brush ups on their skills *hours - They are horrible! Hands down, horrible!! *the atmosphere - management doesnt encourage team building. They dont want employees up talking to eachother. We are expected to sit in our cubes and not move, not talk, just work. Sound like something else you know? (hint, think of bars and bright orange jumpsuits)
