Pros

at Wells Fargo, they offer good benefits 401k matching supportive management, work week is usually 40 hrs. cant argue with having bank holidays and good time off especially for first time employees

Cons

depending on your location, you have to be willing to work on saturdays. at times, you are chasing solutions goals " just to fill up the box score" the quartly bonus is nothing to be excited about, but in return they give you a higher salary and job promotions is what gets you paid

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, solid PTO plan, lots of opportunity for career mobility. As a Lease End Sales Consultant, we were paid a decent annual salary. The real treat was the incentive plan. Even if you were just an average performer, you could make an additional $1500 per month or more. Most of us made enough to essentially double our salary. Times were great, until the financial crisis struck and caused Wells Fargo to pull out of the leasing business. Three years later, we were all laid off when there were no more leases ending.

Cons

As with any large company, sometimes you can feel like just another number. Also, sometimes you have to deal with reactive (rather than proactive) middle management, which is cause for sometimes excessive procedural changes. My personal experience with my direct supervisor was essentially ten years of slow, painful death, but I do believe she was the exception and not the rule.
