A great place to work with good people and smart leadership.

Pros

Wells Fargo has weathered the recent Mortgage crises because the company has employed a conservative business model. That translates to higher stability for the company and it's employees. Wells Fargo also has favorable benefits (e.g. 100% 401K match on up to 6% of salary) compared to similar positions in similar companies. I've been with the company for 10+ years and have had the opportunity to work on a number of interesting projects. It can be stressful at times but I have never been bored. I've had several co-workers who have left the company to take positions with other companies and everyone of them later regretted their decisions.

Cons

The company is very large and has become increasingly bureaucratic.

Great Job for top sales performers!

Pros

If you are good or superior in Sales, this a good job for you. The job is 80% salary and 20% incentive compensation(commission), so the day to day pressure is off as far as income. Wells Fargo does hold you to daily, weekly and quarterly goals, but if you are a top performer, this should be no problem. The company thrives on integrity, compliance, conservative practices

Cons

Average sales performers will have a hard time or struggle with meeting their minimums. The entry level positions make the employees use scripts when greeting clients which at times becomes difficult to do.
