Pros

They are a very good company to work with because its one of the very few banks out there that has the resources for employees to advance and enleashed one's potential. This bank can provide you with the best available managers and tools so anyone wishing to advance themselves and do so with ease. Also, since this is a hugh bank, there are many good career opportunities for each employee to advance themselves. The whole structure of personnel and employee services available is quite resouseful in comparison to other companies. Overall satisfaction will be very high for anybody working with Wells Fargo.

Cons

Sometimes because its hugh a big company, management doesn't carter to all the specific needs of employees as prompt as they should. An example would be If a certain challenge arise in the company, one would be difficult to communicate to their Senior Management to change or better the situation. It would take weeks and months time to get the message accross. Since it is a very big company, whatever action takes lengthy of time to roll out. Also, there should be better training provided to all employees and more knowledge and training offer to existing employees who has been with the company for over 5 years.

Pros

There are ample opportunities for professional development including quarterly to annual development planning meetings with your direct manager. In these meetings, they discuss with you what your career goals and long-term passions are. Then together you create a plan to help you work toward those goals, whether it is learning a new skill or job-shadowing someone in a different department. Throughout the company, there is a strong support of work-life balance. If I am traveling for several days at a time, I am able to work remotely from home the next few days in order to be visible to my children.

Cons

Because it is a financial institution in difficult financial market, positions and department with sales goals sometimes struggle. Also, the instability in the market makes some employees hesitant or insecure about their jobs. However, those who have been with the company for many years are able to reassure them of the strength and stability of the company and ease these worries. In addition, those with positions in an actual bank (Wells Fargo or another) always have the unfortunate possibility of being involved or present for a bank robbery. But, Wells Fargo has MANY compliance processes to avoid these situations and various types of support for employees after a situation like this occurs.

Pros

Benefits. Very attractive benefit package. Currently working 25 hours yet I'm still receiving benefits. I've been retired, but with the cost of health benefits this is a great place to work part time and still have benefits. I have been thinking about moving to washinton mutual because I've been told they have really good benefits there too. If you've heard that let me know. I would also say that Wells Fargo has the really good computer programs they are easy to use and unlike other banks i've worked at these systems are easy to learn.

Cons

Sales ... sales ... sales. If your geared toward sales than this is the place for you.
