Pros

Wells Fargo is a large company that one could move up and/ or around in if (s)he seeks a career in the financial services industry and is very sales-oriented. The benefits given to employees are very good such as your insurance, retirement, and a myriad of other financial perks you get by working at a bank. It is also a company that values diversity and tries to reach out to minority demographic groups--especially the growing Latino population in the United States. If you know Spanish or any another language this company is likely to value your language skills and cross-cultural competency.

Cons

Wells Fargo is a great opportunity for you if--and I mean IF--you are a very sales-oriented person. For example, as a teller your job is not simply to provide efficient, accurate and courteous service to the bank's accountholders as one might think. As a teller you are NOT simply working in customer service. You ARE working in an entry-level sales position. You have a sales quota to meet every quarter and if you consistently do not meet your quota you will no longer be employed by Wells Fargo. It is as simple as that. If your personality is not geared toward trying to convince a customer who merely wanted to come in and quickly cash their check why they should get a credit card, open another account, or use some other financial service, then this job is clearly not meant for you. Be able to suceed at giving a rapid-fire sales pitch or you will not make it.

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!
