Extremely Unreachable Daily Sales Goals

Personal banker

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great company ethics when it comes to employers, great pay, diverse company and many opportunities for promotion

Cons

The Daily sales goals will have you contemplating quitting every single day. No one lasts as long as upper management says you will. Turnover rate is insane. Managers put crazy pressure on you to produce to the point to do unethical things just to hit numbers. Managers will have you solicit random people and companies on a daily basis to get checking accounts. It extremely embarrassing and uncomfortable. There is no work/life balance. Be prepared to never see your family. Oh, and if you live in an area that can get harsh winters...be prepared to go in and stay all day even when its dangerous outside (i.e. snow, hail, hurricanes, etc. )

Great place for people who want to work in one place, never move, and have balance

Vice president of product management

Business Outlook

Pros

Most areas & managers allow flexible working hours and locations. Good time off benefits, 50% 401K matching and other small perks. Lots of "lifers" - people who have been here 10 - 25 years.

Cons

Over the last 5 years the company has been whittling away at the perks and benefits - no more subsidized food, less PTO, smaller merit increases, reduced space per employee - it's not as nice a place to work at as it used to be. Because so many people never leave, there's a bit of an incestuousness to the culture; many people are desensitized to the Wells culture because they've never really worked anywhere else.
