Good company to work for

Operations analyst

Business Outlook

Pros

Out of three companies I worked in Financial services Industry Wells is the best. In my opinion, they treat their employees fairly in most departments. You feel that your efforts are recognized and valued. There are many opportunities to find your place and get new skills and career growth. Also they're pretty diverse company comparatively with other two I worked for. I would recommend it for my friends. It might be not an ideal company to work for the rest of your life but at least it's a good starting point.

Cons

I don't see many aspects that I would complain about. Just like any other big corporations it has some bureaucracy, I guess.

Good place to start, then leave

Business Outlook

Pros

Wells offers more training than most banks, has a well articulated corporate values & mission statement. Wells also offers some good potential to move up if you are willing to move around.

Cons

Wells is very gimicky and slow to increase pay. They will promise a lot but steadily and consistently undermine the value of your pay package with "adjustments" to bonus programs. Wells also suffers from a huge amount of cronieism. Being a chear leader is much more important than results as everyone lines up to look their best by stroking each and every promotion or idea that comes through.

Not Perfect, but a great place to start out.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great atmosphere among assigned workgroup. Very fast paced; no two days ever really the same. I greatly enjoyed working with assigned account base. The health benefits are great and really affordable. PTO plan is one of the best I've ever seen. Monthly one-on-one reviews with supervisor were very helpful.

Cons

A lot of good ideas often tanked due to poor execution. Poor communication and interactions between customer service teams and other departments. Too many accounts for each account manager.
