Pros

Wells has good communication between tellers and upper management. Lots of paid time off.

Cons

Same job over and over again. The only way to move up inthe company is to sell customers solutions they don't need so you can get your sells. My store manager was so dumb she could not even process a simple deposit. All about who you know and not what you know.

Pros

Learn how the banking industry works and get completely free accounts for working for the company [e.g. no need for transfers or monthly fees]

Cons

Note: This list is centralized to the East Los Angeles Branch, your branch experience will vary with this company. - Management can be incompetent. - Management lacks communicative and motivation skills. - Company cares only about the numbers and not the customers. - Many branch game to reach goals and solution numbers [people will find products added to their accounts without their knowledge only to be reported to please the district manager]. - If the numbers are not met, manager will threat and psychologically demotivate employees by berating employee infront of customers, talk to other branch managers over the phone, within earshot of Teller line, and complain about how the employees do not care about their job. - The professionalism of this branches management is horrible and delusional, e.g. the awareness that other branches are gaming but purposefully will tell employees that to do so isn't going to result in sales while being honest and truthful doesn't result in numbers. - Experience and customer service skills are not valued there. Management only caters to those employees that stroke management's sore ego.

Pros

If you're an employee, you are golden. Bonuses, perks, trips, etc

Cons

if you're a contractor, they force you to only work 18 months and then you have to go on a mandatory 6 month layoff. Not worth it. They don't keep their word about hiring contractors. Too many contractors means constantly changing -turnover in departments every 18 months. They don't pay contractors overtime. They ask you to not bill the extra hours. They work you 12-15 hour days. No life outside of work. Sitting on a beach checking your blackberry.
