Help me help you..

Personal banker

Business Outlook

Pros

I've been able to be part of several different areas of the bank and had opportunities to learn and grow. The managers I've worked with are dedicated and want to see you succeed. This is a performance based business. When you succeed you are rewarded. When you are not meeting minimum standards, as with any company, it is brought to your attention. This sometimes can be perceived as a need to be pushy with customers. I do not see it that way. I'm able to meet my goals by helping customers to be financially sucessful.

Cons

The financial compensation is inconsistant. I work with someone at my same location that is currently making 13,000 more than I am. I've got more seniority and better past and present performance. What is that all about? I've asked for raises. I've shown my manager how I've benefited our company and still nothing. I'm ready to find something new.

Good company to work for.

Pros

There are many career advancement opportunities within Wells Fargo. You can easily start off as a teller and then work your way to lead teller, banker, and then service manager in two or three years. After that, you can become branch manager. In my case, I'm currently looking for opportunities in the IT area, and there are countless opportunities there once I graduate.

Cons

On the retail banking side, Wells Fargo seems to focus too much on sales. That puts a lot of pressure on the employees to sell their products and services, and advancement is often dependent too much on how well you can sell. For example, if you are a teller and want to advance to a service manager position eventually, you'd better be selling well.

Business Outlook

Pros

They offer a good benefits package and provide good work and life balance. Many teams offer work from home opportunities which is great in current times (with the explosive price of gas). The environment fosters learning and growth opportunities exist for those who are willing to go that extra mile.

Cons

Lack of structured processes. Inconsistent methods in delivering services to internal customers. There are many instances of things being done at the last minute, which causes quality to be below mark.
