Wells Fargo reviews

The biggest Pro in my book: I love love love Wells Fargo. That being said I have had times where I have been extreemly unhappy while working for them. Wells Fargo is a Huge company. When managers follow the mission statement and values of the bank, all of their employee's really enjoy working at Wells. For the most part Senior managment follow the values of the bank to the T. But there are over a quarter million employee's so there are bound to be a few bad apples. The Pro is, if you findyourself unhappy you can always transfer someonewhere else and you will find that the management is different, the culture is different, the sales pressure is different. I've worked for Wells Fargo in 3 states which were in 3 different regions. The banking was the same in each one, The culture was totally different. 3rd time's the charm, I've found the perfect fit for me. Benifits: -6% matching in 401k. That beats the industry average of 3%. I haven't found a bank that comes close. -Health/Dental/other benifits: On par with the best of banks out there. -Industry high of at least 4 weeks paid vacation 5 weeks for managment Technology: -Some of the most upgraded/high tech/user friendly/paperless processes in the industry. Documents are not kept in old file cabinets, they are scaned and stored online. Account opening is not done on paper like at US BANK, it is done on the computer with a digital signiture pad. This is all important because it makes your job easier. Pay: It is right on par with the industry. Look at other Banks on this website, the pay is about the same anywhere you go. Advancment: If you are willing to relocate you can move up almost as fast as you want. Wells fargo on the retail banking side almost exclusivly hires from within.

Got to use the newest technology (e.g. piloting MS Office 2007 sooner than many places). IT projects were almost necessarily large-scale, because of the number of employees.
