Pros

Extremely conscious of balancing work and life. There is much flexibility in roles and can find a spot to highlight your strengths. Training is important and a constant theme. The size allows for a person to find a role that suits them and helps their team and company. I have enjoyed working at Wells Fargo and am proud of the organization. This is a proud company and takes pride in it's team members.

Cons

It's a large institution that can get bureaucratic. There is a structure to Wells Fargo that keeps it strong, but also makes it somewhat rigid and slow moving.

Pros

A great company to work for, especially if you're looking for career advancements. It's a great place for students because of the schedule flexibility, and it provides A LOT of learning experience if you're planning on a career in business or banking. The fast-paced environment may be a little intimidating at first, but everyone helps each other out so it's easy to be comfortable with the work environment/culture. Wells Fargo cares about its team members, its customers, and its community. I like it that everyone's opinions count. When a customer is not satisfied with something, the employees work as a team to improve the service. I also like how Wells Fargo contributes and sponsors clubs and programs to help the community. It's very rewarding to see customers smile as they walk out the door. It's even more rewarding when customers wait for you to help them even when there are other tellers available. It makes me feel important :)

Cons

Sometimes you need to have thick skin because every once in a while there are customers that have a bad day and will yell at you just for smiling. But other than that, I can't think of any downside to working at Wells Fargo.

Pros

stability, any idiot without an education can go pretty far there as long as you can talk customers in to useless products they do not need. Lots of opportunities for advancement if you put your own personal goals ahead of the clients.

Cons

talking customers into products they do not need. upper management encourages unethical practices. organization is built around sales not customer service that they claim they are. I worked there for five years and finally I had to leave, because everybody knows that unethical sales practices are taking place but nobody does anything about it. All the way up through district management and market area presidents.
