Pros

National footprint.....one of the last big banks still standing.

Cons

Leadership does not live up to the "printed" materials re: associate engagement. Additonally, the organizational structure does not clearly give ownership over specific business units, which leads to a lack of accountability.

Pros

Benefits are good, PTO is really nice, stores are usually furnished nicely and kept clean, has a positive reputation in the industry. Upward mobility is achievable

Cons

Moving up can be a struggle, sometimes I question how managers got into their positions, pressure to sell can be overwhelming, compensation is mediocre for the amount of responsibility the job has. Personal Bankers are really the face of the company to most of its customers; when they have a problem we are who they see and who they expect to give them everything they ask for. It really is two jobs in one: customer service and sales. I think the pay should be higher for having so much to do. The bonuses are kind of a joke too, if you get silver in everything your bonus is only around $2000 per quarter, and almost half gets taken out for taxes. Since the Wachovia merger the company seems to have gotten more focused on meeting the bottom line than meeting our customer's expectations of their financial instutution.

Pros

I have received some of the best training in the industry at Wells Fargo. Initially you will only receive product and system training, but if you show promise and given extra training you may have the opportunity to receive training from some very experienced and helpful trainers.

Cons

Be prepared for being underpayed and underappreciated. Each year your sales goals will increase while your bonuses decrease. If you want a fairly realistic (albeit hilarious) example of the pressure one sees check out the "morning huddle" videos on youtube. The sales pressure is extremely high with little support from upper management. The upper management has either not worked at this level ever, or in a very long time. Also, I hope you enjoy being micromanaged because that seems to be the only way that upper management works.
