Looking for the very top originators only. Watch your wallet.

Pros

Great marketing programs for Loan Officers. Good training program. Flexible hours. Very little supervision. The benefits were very good and if you originate a really high number of mortgages you are treated very well. They are after only the top 5% of loan officers.

Cons

Pricing needlessly complicated. Errors always favor the company. Not really intetested in you unless you are a superstar performer. Sink or swim attitude of management. Their processing has to be one of the worse in the industry. Don't even think about sending in FHA or VA loans to their processing center. They will remain there for eternity.

Wells Fargo retail banking is not for those with business degrees.

Teller

Pros

If your a college student and need a part-time job with good benefits, being a teller is a good position for you.

Cons

I just graduated from college with a finance degree in May and cannot apply for another job within the company until I fulfill one calender year in my current teller position. So now I have to look outside the company for a job. There is no way I can survive on my own on a tellers salary. I explained this to management and they wont budge. I am the only one in my branch with a college degree and it makes me feel worthless working as a teller. I recently interviewed for a analyst position for an insurance company and was treated with much more respect and worth.

A great place to work with good people and smart leadership.

Pros

Wells Fargo has weathered the recent Mortgage crises because the company has employed a conservative business model. That translates to higher stability for the company and it's employees. Wells Fargo also has favorable benefits (e.g. 100% 401K match on up to 6% of salary) compared to similar positions in similar companies. I've been with the company for 10+ years and have had the opportunity to work on a number of interesting projects. It can be stressful at times but I have never been bored. I've had several co-workers who have left the company to take positions with other companies and everyone of them later regretted their decisions.

Cons

The company is very large and has become increasingly bureaucratic.
