Professional crooks, stealing money from hard-working people, using a pen instead of a gun.

Pros

The basic benefits package that most large companies offer: 401(k), paid time-off, etc. Nothing special.

Cons

Constant, relentless pressure to sell more products (checking, savings, credit cards) to customers who don't need it.

Pros

Great bennifits, lots of room for advancement. Some what friendly worrk environment. Wells Fargo does a good job of pretending you matter to them.

Cons

You don't really matter to them, they'll throw you under a bus the first time they see a bennifit in doing so. They don't pay as much as other companies for similar jobs. No communication between the people calling the shots and the people carrying out those orders

Business Outlook

Pros

Really great benefits, and fairly easy work. Most people you encounter are pretty nice. You get a TON of time off, I started out with like 20 days of PTO! It's really easy to move up in the company if you actually try to hit your numbers each quarter.

Cons

My feet HURT! You have to stand all day because they think it look unprofessional to sit down at all. People yell at you all day like it's your fault they're overdrafted. Working with the general public can be less than fun some days. I've worked at a couple branches and the branch manager usually has no idea what the tellers do or how they do it. They couldn't process a simple deposit if you asked them. All they care about is SALES SALES SALES! You can be the nicest, most loved teller in the whole branch and have the best customer survey scores, and still you'll be hounded relentlessly about SALES!
