Flexible, Big Company with tons of perks, and benefits. Fantastic place to work.

Marketing consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

At wells fargo there are many reasons to work here. For one, the diversity here is the best in the industry, the shear amounts of diversity and openness is unsurpassed. Also, depending on what group you are in, the dress code is VERY laxed for a bank (Jeans, T-shirt is acceptable). Also, some offices have fooseball tables/pool tables for the people (wholesale side). as with any big company, thsi could vary group to group, however except from the finance heavy areas, many workers work remotely, as well as get very lenient PTO. Speaking of PTO....25 days + 1 day at home a week is fantastic.

Cons

Big company, and everything that comes with it

Don't get trampled by the stagecoach!

Business Outlook

Pros

Stability and security. Great incentives for top performance.

Cons

sales pressure, too much emphasis on sales results. It doesn't matter how great you are as an employee in any other way except sales. If you are fantastic with fellow team members and customers, are reliable, are helpful with others, are creative, go above and beyond are ambitious and behave with high ethical standards...you can still get fired and pretty easily if you don't make sales goals. Ridiculous!

Nice place to retire but not start a career

Business Outlook

Pros

Time off policy is great

Cons

Not rewarded for individual performance. Everyone, regardless of individual performance, receives same bonus %. Annual salaries work much the same way. But, if I get a nice pay raise that means my teammate got shafted and vice versa; creates a back-stabbing, "look out for yourself" environment.
