Pros

Wells Fargo was progressive and offered gooda training opportunities. I was an administrative assistant in the Wealth Management Group and I was included in meetings and treated like an equal to my managers. The review process was fair. The company invested in the tools I needed to do my job. The work was interesting and challenging. They were flexible when I had personal appointments.

Cons

Some of the decisions were made at a higher level which were out of touch with reality. Some of the initiatives were pushed down our throats when everyone hated them. Sales was pushed very hard on managers which could lead to pushing products that weren't a good fit for every client.

Pros

-Loved working with the top managers, great people to work with! -Great structure and had mentors that accelerated my learning, growth, and progression in the company. I thought there were a few great trainers as well. So in general, I appreciated all I learned with Wells Fargo. -Depending on your manager, great environment, fairly flexible with hours -Supportive, hardworking staff and with good managers, great work environment -The Vision and Values are awesome!

Cons

-The scripting made genuine interactions pretty difficult -Felt that the level of trust in employees was very low as evident through company policies -Instead of moral support, additional paperwork and micromanagement seemed to be the choice made -Sales goals that were slightly unrealistic. Some bankers would resort to unethical practices -Felt like they were finding ways to make money for stockholders through fees and skimping on compensation pay through the goals that top 1% of bankers couldn't reach. -Sometimes the Vision and Values didn't seem to be really lived by management, then in turn the workers
