Nice place to work, too bad I got laid off

Applications engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Wells Fargo was generally a nice place to work and treated their employees well. They pay technical staff well and have decent benefits including matching 401K plan to 6%.

Cons

Recent reductions in staff due to downturn in Mortgage Industry. At times, Senior management made decisions on projects that should have had input from Technical staff causing the projects to fail.

Good company to work for if you like structure

Operations processor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has a very rigid structure that allows for advancement provided you work within the confines of the structure. Pay is good and raises are provided at regular intervals, though again the pay raises are structured. The company emphasizes pride in the company which results in a fun atmosphere to work in.

Cons

One of the reasons to work for Wells Fargo is also one of the reasons why one might not like it at Wells Fargo. The structure can be stifling at times, particularly for those who don't appreciate a rigid setup.

If sells scares you, you might want to think twice about this position.

Business Outlook

Pros

So far it seems like a decent place to start straight out of school. I just started and am still scared about a sells job, but i need an income now. If something else comes along, i probably will take it. In the end, times are hard at any job, jobs will be cut, but at least you have a little control over a sales job, continue to sell, and continue to have a job. I might just be lazy or just bought into the middle-class dream, find a job and get paid for doing as little as possible. You can't do that in sells, and I'm scared.

Cons

I seen management push an unwanted product on a customer, and told the rep to basically use the customers child to scare the customer into buying, " but what about the safety of your child". I thought that was distasteful.
