Pros

Wells Fargo has created many career opportunities for advancement. While working there, Wells Fargo paid my way through college to obtain a degree in finance. Wells Fargo Bank also gave the opportunity of taking my securities licenses to further advance in my career. Wells Fargo also compensates you with incentives like bonuses if you make and exceed your sales quota quarterly. They offer lots of benefits including 401k match up, medical, dental and vision insurance.

Cons

One of the the downsides of working for Wells Fargo Bank is the amount of sales pressure put forth to the employees.

Pros

Wells Fargo treats its employees with the respect they deserve. The benefits package is particularly strong and the compensation for high sales performers is good. Morale is good, feedback is taken seriously and a generous time off program provides a good work/life balance. Communication is generally good, but has its gaps like any big company has. Senior management are generally thoughtful and sensitive people. I have never been yelled at in ten years of working here by any manager.

Cons

It is a large, conservative organization that has all the downsides associated with a large bureaucracy. Trying to change things can sometimes be akin to changing the course of the titanic.

Pros

The company was well run and seemed to have a good strategic plan. The senior managers all had many years of experience with the company and were very capable. Also, good benefits for employees including 25 PTO in first year. A lot of training opportunities. Almost everyone else I met at the company was very satisfied with how they were treadted

Cons

Felt like there was limited upside. The pay was ok, but not as good as other banks. The company approach to business is very conservative, which can be frustrating. From a business standpoint this was a good thing, but not quite so exciting when young.
