Pros

It is a great place for career advancement if you enjoy sales. You have quick opportunities for promotions to management positions in your first 2 years on the job.

Cons

If you do not want to work in sales for the next 7 years, you are better off not working here. If you want to move to another part of the company, you must move to Des Moines, IA.

The best reason to work at Wells Fargo is the career opportunities they offer. They teach so many things to help you advance in your career.

The downsides would be the high sales goals which sometimes are impossible to reach because some of the branches don't get as much traffic and are the same people everyday.
