Fast promotion for hard workers

Senior credit manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Rewards those who have done well. It really pays to perform and stay ahead of the game. They value individual recognition and reward sales efforts very well. I was promoted 3 months on the job purely based off of individual performance. I am proud to work for such a conservative company that doesnt end up on the 6 o'clock news for doing bad loans or putting clients in harms way...

Cons

You have to come in and hit the ground running. No time for babysitting or hand-holding...Also more immediate and timely feedback would be appreciated. The base pay isnt very competitive either in my opinion.

Good place to start a career

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is stable and has very little requirements to get hired besides having a 4 year degree and wanting to sell and make money.

Cons

They use a very outdated business model of telemarketing people at work and at home. This burns employees out.

Wells Fargo--Best Company To Work For

Credit manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's great to know you're with one of the greatest and most respected companies in the world. They have great salary potentials, wonderful benefits, amazing opportunity for advancement, and a very knowledgeable and wise leadership. In an industry that's really taking a beating right now, Wells Fargo is still standing strong. Many banks and financial institutions are laying off masses of employees, while Wells Fargo is still hiring aggressively. It's also encouraging to see those who are leading the company now and learn that many of them began in the same position--credit manager. It shows that if you're willing to put in hard work and be loyal, you will be rewarded!

Cons

You may possess all the qualities to make yourself an amazing manager, but if your personal sales numbers don't match up then you'll never get a shot.
