Great place to hide if you like not having to work...

Technology manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent benefits. 5 weeks PTO and cash pension plan. Decent team member banking preferences. High name recognition / branding (everyone knows who Wells Fargo is). For every quality employee there is one poor employee. Wells Fargo can be a great place to hide behind meetings and bureaucracy if you prefer not to work.

Cons

Exceptionally poor place to be a top performer or a change agent. Highly tactical, high process, regulation and paperwork with little productivity and innovation. Slow to change despite evidence and sound reasons to do it.

Don't bank here, don't work here

Personal banker

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy entrance to the financial field, with the right sucking up one can get ahead if you have moral flexibility to swindle people. If you don't have education and don't thrive in a meritocracy it is a place where you can truly succeed and fly up the ranks. People can rise from entry level teller to management despite lack of management experience or economic knowledge. Very pro-minority as they value diversity over skill. This place will give you a thicker skin in sales, if you can sell online banking and debit cards to 90 year olds you're apt to succeed.

Cons

Unfair business practices, management suggesting immoral practices, poorly trained and educated staff, extreme pressure to put extreme pressure on customers despite their best interests, subpar products that one is expected to push, repeated unethical and questionable business practices, managers who are uneducated, and uninformed, lack of concern for the best interests of the customers or employees. They fail to prune out employees that have been popped for violating policy, and punish those that follow it. Employees are encouraged to endlessly harass customers into products they don't need. This company embodies the peter principal, and rewards their most morally deficient employees.

Home mortgage consultant

Business Outlook

Pros

National name, strong reputation in the banking community, excellent leadership at the top, cutting edge technology and detailed, ongoing training program.

Cons

In my particular situation, no local bank presence, sponsorships or advertising. No local loan processing...all loans were shipped to a differnt state to be processed.
