High Pressure + Low Pay = High Job Turnover

Teller

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Wells Fargo offers benefits to all employees who work 20+ hours a week.

Cons

Wells Fargo Bank is not a great place to work because 1. Ultra stressful. They demand their employees to put on a fake smile 8 hours a day. In addition, tellers and bankers have to push people to open x numbers of accounts per day. Otherwise, warnings will be issued and then termination if they continue to not meet their goals. A few colleagues were canned for failing to meet their goals even though they were very helpful to their customers. 2. Very low pay. An annual pay increase is minuscule. You'll laugh when you see the extra pennies they gave you.

Business Outlook

Pros

Wells Fargo has a great benifits package, and a lot of good growth opportunities.

Cons

Mega - Bureaucracy. Sometimes it is really hard to get simple things done. It can be really difficult to navigate the giant corporate structure that is Wells Fargo. Often, just finding out who you have to talk to is have the battle of getting what you need to get done
