Pros

Emphasis on work / life balance for everyone - they expect you to turn off your blackberry on PTO Flexibility in determining work locations Teamwork is more than a buzzword here

Cons

Insular culture that seems to believe the Wells Fargo way is "perfect" and cannot be improved; it doesn't feel very open to new ideas.

Pros

The benefits are really good especially if you plan on having a baby. Gain good experience in the finacial industry with a company that is secure and well respected. They train you a ton and you can learn a lot.

Cons

You are stuck in every position for at least a year with no exceptions. Once you get a degree they dont care and you wont be promoted. Wells is very political and you'll move up only if you network well. They stress performance but when it comes down to it, it's all about who you know. Management is typically left over from early mergers and they are way past their prime. The older managers have no idea what's going on and no product knolwedge. You work at a fast pace and are expected to bring in huge goals for the company while paying you peanuts for comission's. They completely weeded out the Financial Advisors. You'll be expected to wear suits for a 15/hr job! They want you to look profesional but treat you like children, seriously...You will always only be considered a number. The turn over rate is huge because of this.

Pros

Benefits are great compared to many companies and the management is approachable and respects and values employees opinions and feedback.

Cons

I dont agree with the fact that you have to speak a second language to get paid more and the goals they set for you can be a little ridiculous especialyy with all the stipulations of how to reach those goals.
