Pros

A Chance for advancement as long as you never make waves.

Cons

Immature managers, outrageous goals, and waste of employee's time every morning for a huddle.

Pros

More autonomy on investment side than bank side. Constant stream of leads from banking customer base. Generally very nice people to work with, regardless of the line of business. Conservative posture in lending and banking has made Wells very strong through tough economy. Wells avoided most of the risky business of other financial institutions. Warren Buffet is major shareholder :-) The majority of clients are very nice and feel a strong attachment to Wells.

Cons

No opportunities for advancement currently from an associate role to an advisor role unless you have significant prior sales experience or perhaps a book of business to bring in from another firm, otherwise you have to get lucky and get the nod from an established financial advisor to come on as a partner. Don't feel there is any real career path planning for associates. It's easy to get burned out after a while since the work that is done every day is mostly servicing accounts, so it gets a bit monotonous.

Pros

Excellent PTO and benefits package. Variety of locations and great team members. Strong vision and values. Conservative bank growing their reserves. Post merger, the company should be ready to seize market share more rapidly again.

Cons

The environment is highly political. Some management corrupt and incapable of meaningful leadership. Team members pressured daily to meet goals that are frequently unrealistic. The employees work like a smattering of 'rock stars' rather than a 'rock band'...not team oriented.
