Pros

Amazing opportunites for advancement, wells prefers to promote from within when the person is competent and comfortable in thier position and ready for a new challenge! They want you to succeed and have unlimited training for you to pursue to further you're career, my store manager (the person who runs the whole branch) is truly awesome. Beyond understanding and very inspiring! competitive pay, and you are definitely rewarded with promotion when you do well. Very fun environment to work.

Cons

You ARE promoted quickly when you do well. However, when you hit "incentive" aka-all you're goals for the quarter you get pay out, don't get too excited however because they raise the bar every year and lower the payout every time. I hit it this last quarter- $550 in pay out minus the 40% automatically taken out in taxes. Not sure why they lower it every year, Wells Fargo had thier highest earning quarter in HISTORY in 2010. But when you do hit incentive it makes it much easier to move up in the company, but only if there are position available, if you live in a moderate to small sized city be prepared to wait awhile.

Pros

Benefits (but cost creeping up and coverage creeping down each year), Good Morale Both Management and Coworkers, and Honestly a Great Company.

Cons

Cross Selling is the only focus now, firing employees who are great at their job in every area that should matter but if the cross selling results are not meeting the ever ridiculous quota (which continues to rise) than you may not have a job next month. Expectation for customers to say yes to cross selling, leaving you with no real control of your job security. Stress!
