Pros

The company is stable and they offer a benefits package. In the current financial crisis employment at Wells Fargo is pretty secure, however there are rumors of lay off's comming, as we merge with Wachovia.

Cons

In order to progress in your carreer in retail banking you have be willing to throw out your morals, pride and common sense and be prepared to do a lot of ass kissing. Retail managment does not care at all about sales emplyees, their only goal is to squeeze as much out of you as they can. As a banker be prepared to be assigned redundant and inefficient tasks which will only hinder you from achieving overinflated and unrealistic sales goals.

Pros

If you want to have a job.

Cons

Employees are like cattle. Hugely sales oriented and lacking in trust, values and ethics. Managers are consistently lying to team members to drive sales. Customers are not valued for their business. Culture has an overall lack of reality. I was a top sales performer and did it ethically-- however management frequently encouraged me to be unethical. Managers are not held accountable-- working at most 30 hours a week. I every branch I worked in almost EVERYONE was extremely dissatisfied and turnover each year was extremely high. HR is worthless. Overall terrible experience and would never do it again.

Pros

I really like the benefits. The health care coverage is great. I recently had a baby and the out of pocket expense was less than five hundred dollars. Also they give a lot of vacation each year to all of their employees. I also like the schedule I have to work every other Saturday but it is a short day. I like the dress code. I like that I make a real difference in peoples life. I like getting to know customers and meeting business customers. Most people think we are smarter than we really are! I will say WF trains there employees well.

Cons

Some of the downsides to working at wells fargo includes the lack of pay. For example, as a college graduate with a four year degree most of my friends make more than me in similar positions. Also, in my position there is a lot of sales goal that have to be met, I often leave work feeling stressed and wanting to find a more stable job. I own a house and hate having to worry if I will meet there high goals. I also hate there meetings it seems we have a meeting at least once a week that was not thought out.
