Wells Fargo... Leading the Way!

Personal banker

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Best reasons to work for Wells Fargo are that you will have a great support from your fellow team members, especially your managers. Great opportunity for advancement in your career. Great bonus that you get every three months just for doing your job. Lastly its a great company to work for because you get to help other succeed financially; knowing that you just helped someone financially really makes you proud of what your doing!

Cons

There are not many downsides of working at wells fargo! If i had to choose one though, it would be the fact that they don't recognize a college degree for raises and promotions. Some one can have a undergraduate degree in business and get paid as much as someone who doesn't have a degree. I think something has to be changed about this!

A good company to work for if you're not in the retail side.

Lead teller

Business Outlook

Pros

There are a good deal of opportunities to move forward in the company, provided you're willing to be flexible. Also, the pay is competitive when compared with other banks, and opportunities for raises are available based on quarterly reviews.

Cons

At least in the retail side of the company, the pressure of getting sales is too high. Managers are responsible for their employees sales goals, and their bonuses are based on how well others do, not how well they themselves do. Provided you get enough sales, you can get away with almost anything, leading to unethical selling practices which is not corrected as it makes managment look good.
