Pros

I have worked for Wells Fargo for almost two years. I started as a teller and moved to a lead teller position. Wells has an extensive and great training program. They invest in their employees. In my district, I see my district manager every week and it feels less like a huge corporate company and more like extended family. Wells has great benefits and great incentive plans. Sales goals have consistently been lowered every year. Wells is focusing more on ethics and customer service than sales. You can get promoted in less than a year, like I did, if you work hard, take the initiative and ask for help you will succeed. Sales are extremely easy to achieve. Customer service is wells number one priority. You need to be customer orientated. The branch is extremely fun and high energy makes people excited to come to work. In comparison to Chase or BOA, Wells is the way to go. They invest more time and money into their employees and care about their development.

Cons

Hours are tough. Working 9-6 or like my branch,10-7 can be very tough. Not having a set schedule or working at a Sunday open branch is also difficult. Most branches are going to be transitioning soon to sunday open branches. The pilot program is going well and bringing in an increase in profit. Customer's can be entitled jerks.

Pros

Good people to work with. I made some great friends and learned from a few really good managers

Cons

The process for being laid off is a terrible experience. Upper management loses all compassion and understanding. Basically a what have you done for me lately approach. After giving up time of my life with my family to transfer to other cities to help the company grow, was laid off upon return to home city. Human Resource department is not fair. I unfortunately walked away from this experience with a very bitter taste in my mouth. No employee should ever be treated like this, especially after all that was given to this company.

Pros

Employee friendly culture and policy. Good people to work with. You can retire from this company if you want There are people which seriously following this; especially managers. Fun@work. Wells Fargo brand value will be good for your CV. Ideas and efforts are getting recognized.

Cons

No onsite opportunity at all. They will make this expectations clear at the time of joining. If you dare to ask for any onsite opportunity they will convince you that Wells Fargo is not a transport company. Salary is good when you join this company. Half yearly increments are terrible. If you stay in this company for more that 3-4 years then world will be ahead of you in terms of salary. They have fix duration for offering role change. No matter whatever you do you will not get promoted to next role before that duration. 80% support work.
