CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

stability in uncertain times. Good pay compared to competitiors. Decent bonus structure. Not for entitled crybabies. Has a good structure for moving up or moving locations if you want to. If you truly want to be promoted more quickly then you need to be willing to move. You always know where you stand with management and the company culture is great. Once you catch on, not stressful at all.

Cons

frequent change. Must embrace change. Don't count on lots of huge commission checks. But you can get decent consistent ones if you're a top performer. Interviews make the commission out to be a little better than what is realistic and common (as interviews are wont to do)

Business Outlook

Pros

The people were very knowledgeable and friendly. My peers were on rge sane team as I was. When we had to meet sales goals, I felt like their was a healthy competitive spirit, yet a feeling of co-operation because we all wanted to succeed. As a result, the company morale was very high and and the employees were respected. The benefits were good as well.

Cons

The hours were very rigid and there was a lot of working in the evenings because that is the best time to catch people at home. Therefore, it was difficult to balance family and work.

Pros

The benefits that Wells Fargo provides are outstanding - lots of time off, good health benefits, 6% matching for 401K. There is also a lot of opportunity for movement within the company.

Cons

It's such a big company, the customer service is not always personal and not always good. Sometimes, there is a lot of passing the buck before you can find the right person to take care of a customers.
