Pros

WF offers pleasant work environment, decent benefits package, tuition reimbursement, and advancement opportunities as long as you meet their sales goals. they match 6 percent of your 401K contributions, which is kinda nice, but you'll be able to take their contribution with you (if you decide to leave) only after 5 years with them, which kinda sucks. it seems to be a stable company, so you'd have some kind of work security. i have no heard about anybody being laid off.

Cons

sales, sales, sales! seems to be the main concern. of course, they mention customer service and all that, but sales dominate. the commissions seem to be a little low, given the emphasis on sales. and there is little check on sales quality. a lot of customers get screwed with accounts and services that they dont need (but give profit to the bankers)

Pros

The culture is wonderful compared to other banks I have worked at. The culture is slowly changing to align with other banks but even with that it is the bank I have enjoyed the most in 20 years in the industry

Cons

Spread out a lot and certain locations are closing or bound to close down depending on the area of bank. To be safe seek a role in one of the larger hubs like Charlotte.

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!
