Great place for a mediocre employee to collect a steady paycheck.

Business Outlook

Pros

Wells Fargo offers great job security, relative to its peers. Wells Fargo does not punish under performers, and it doesn't take much to keep your job.

Cons

Management loves to use the line "We don't always pay the most." Hard work and dedication usually doesn't get rewarded.

Keep up the great work, Wells is doing very well as a company, especially in these turbulent times.

Technical project manager

Business Outlook

Pros

The work culture here is relaxed but professional. People are focused on getting the job done but are civil toward each other. I really like the fact that our employer, Wells Fargo, is supportive of our time outside of work. Wells is a philanthropic organization.

Cons

Sometimes the greater goal is lost in such a large organization. Process can often slow things down to the point that you wonder if folks understand what the collective goal is. Another area that is a negative is when departments lock horns over process rather than solving the issue. Usually such issues are resolved with senior management becoming involved.

Product manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

benefits are extensive, health, eye, dental, psych, counselling commuter pre tax, FSA pre tax, room to move around and gain experience up to mid level at least - many groups to move into and out of good life work balance

Cons

pay could be potentailly lower that other similar financial institutions, lots of tenured people so can get a little stale many of the groups are pretty flat from and org'l prespective and so there is not that much room to move within a group and this usually involves moving to another group they put and end to stock options for rank and file
