Pros

The pay is good, they normally start out personal bankers around 17.30 an hour and full time depending on your experience they may pay more. You get quarterly bonuses for reaching sales quotas and having good customer service they call it WOW. You get to meet all kinds of people and help people with their financial needs and on top of it you learn a lot about finances for your personal life. Cant forget those banking hours and holiday pays are amazing.

Cons

For how hard the employees work, i think they should pay more. Sales quotas are extremely difficult to reach if you are at a slow location. if you do not hit your goals you could potentially get fired, its very stressful. Angry customers are a daily. There is a lot of risk and chance at taking losses, like approving teller transactions that could lead to bad checks or fraud customers and you take the loss for that. There are so many ways you can lose your job the list is endless. You have to be very careful.

Pros

Good ALM team to work for and also very supportive ALM corporate Risk Business team.

Cons

I was a past employee of Wells Fargo. We have a change in management I past years and the current manager is more of a people manager who do not understand the functionality and the code where lot of questions are asked with the team by him that why we are doing this all the time ? He keep on putting his team under the bus in front of the business. Also wanted to change the technology to Java since the application was running smoothly in .NET and is deployed in cloud successfully. He keeps on creating problems for the team that the application is slow and UI layouts are old and performance is slow whereas the application is upgraded to .NET 8 and all the libraries are also updated. In production the application is very much responsive and fast and since he do not like .NET and is a Java person, he constantly creates lot of issues for the team. Personally I am not against any technology but creating and spreading false information is detrimental to the team and to the business. He also take care of the credit or work performed by the team to his own .

Pros

Benefits (but cost creeping up and coverage creeping down each year), Good Morale Both Management and Coworkers, and Honestly a Great Company.

Cons

Cross Selling is the only focus now, firing employees who are great at their job in every area that should matter but if the cross selling results are not meeting the ever ridiculous quota (which continues to rise) than you may not have a job next month. Expectation for customers to say yes to cross selling, leaving you with no real control of your job security. Stress!
