Pros

lack of managements accountability and competency

Cons

Unbelievable. With Master degree in computer science and 22 years of back to back well rewarded experience with few large companies was lured by hiring manger to join WF accepting pay cut back with hallow promise of increasing salary at the time I was blessed with two new children. After 2 year, since hallow promise did not materialized and due to family financial obligation I tried to jump to another group which matched my previous higher rank and pay which the new manager told me “looking forward to have you join my team”, but my manager unethically and selfishly sabotaged my reference not allowing me to move since I had done a very good job of managing and redesigning the applications. Soon after before I had a chance to change the company my wife filed for divorce due to financial pressure. Filed complain with HR, and each time management(S) further retaliated/harassed/abused me (no merit increase, no bonus, harsh comments, etc) at end I was terminated. Very interesting, later found at the same time that my performance review was written very well and been told by hiring manage “Sorry we can’t honor our promise and it is not fair” I found other team member(S) who were from their own same country who were younger less educated, less experience were promoted to higher level than me. Also others were permitted to attend to company paid training but I was not. The effect of all of this has been rather than being well off for retirement being able to comfortably support my family and myself, I am unable to.

Pros

I enjoyed the team I worked with. Benefits were good, flexibility of hybrid worked for me. I was able to advance in my career.

Cons

The company is in a constant state of change. I don't think I've witnessed the "end" of a change cycle in over four years. We change tacts before anything is achieved so we have no idea if anything we've been doing would have worked or if what we're about to do will work. That has different results in depending on where you sit in the business but in all ways, it's chaotic, damaging to morale and creates change fatigue. This is the core of any other "con" I could articulate. Sadly, what used to be a great overall culture (there are always exceptions in large institutions) in Wells Fargo has deteriorated. There were definitely issues in the bank that needed to be addressed but current management has also stripped the company of what made it feel like WF.
