Pros

The employees are well treated and you know up front what your responsibilities are. We are treated better than any other place that I've worked for and at least we have input into our jobs with our managers/supervisors. The people that we work with are really quite positive people. They are attuned to learning their jobs and responsibilities and the supervisors/managers are very supportive in their ways to help people at times overcome some difficulties in doing their jobs and trying to juggle that with their personal lives which can sometimes get in the way with family and all that.

Cons

Pressure and sometimes unreasonable/illogical expectations. A manager that I work for evidently spends too much time reading self help books or attending self help spiritual finding or that sort of seminar where they fill you with a lot of rubbish about how you can be the best in your profession by pushing (forcing would be a better term) a "power of positive thinking" attitude on those who work under this person. This is the kind of person who is overly ambitious and uses people for fuel to attain their promotions. There needs to be more communication when there are changes to the way other departments have policy changes which affect other units around them.

Pros

They are a very good company to work with because its one of the very few banks out there that has the resources for employees to advance and enleashed one's potential. This bank can provide you with the best available managers and tools so anyone wishing to advance themselves and do so with ease. Also, since this is a hugh bank, there are many good career opportunities for each employee to advance themselves. The whole structure of personnel and employee services available is quite resouseful in comparison to other companies. Overall satisfaction will be very high for anybody working with Wells Fargo.

Cons

Sometimes because its hugh a big company, management doesn't carter to all the specific needs of employees as prompt as they should. An example would be If a certain challenge arise in the company, one would be difficult to communicate to their Senior Management to change or better the situation. It would take weeks and months time to get the message accross. Since it is a very big company, whatever action takes lengthy of time to roll out. Also, there should be better training provided to all employees and more knowledge and training offer to existing employees who has been with the company for over 5 years.
