Wells Fargo reviews

Some of the downsides are that it is hard to grow within the company as in any sales job it is’ what have you done for me lately’. Also there are limited branches so unless you are ready to relocate you may have to wait some time before a promotion/branch opens even if you are exceeding your goals. Their seems to be also some stagnation in middle management so there is a big disconnect between those in the field and those in the office that have been largely promoted on based tenure, but will not go grow any further within the company. And like anything those in the field/sales role are the first to go and the last know…even though they produce revenue. Unless you’re at corporate head quarters it is 100% sales job. Branch Location and manager of that branch will play large part of you success or failure.

Your schedule is basically 6 days a week because of the extended hours. The sales goals are ridiculous. It's nearly impossible to achieve your bonuses and that is even with working very hard every single day for a quarter straight. If you are lucky enough to reach your bonus, it's very small and not worth the effort. In smaller cities, the opportunity for growth is limited with the main positions being, teller, banker, store manager. If you're in the bigger cities there are more opportunities. The pay is average compared with other banking jobs but it's hard to get raises and promotions and I've seen people get promoted because they had high sales numbers when that was only because the banker was "gaming" and doing things unethically but then got promoted.
