Very well run company.

Pc/lan analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A longstanding American company which appears to be as dedicated to its employees as it is to its customers. Compensation, I think, is average compared with peers. Benefits I believe is above average. Superior leadership from its past CEO and the present CEO seems to be following in the same footsteps. Very diversified work force. Good company to work for.

Cons

Within technology, unless you are at a major location, it is difficult to advance. Lots of red tape in everything you do. Middle management seems to be the biggest shortcoming.

Pros

To get a chance to work for a well run company that will help with your career down the road. It's truly what you make of it. You can get your licenses and education paid for. Just make sure you network with the right people and always attend any networking events the company might sponsor. It's not who you know, but who knows you when it comes to getting promoted.

Cons

Working within a large company you can get lost in the mix if not careful. The advancement options into the side of business I wanted to get into were limited.

Wells Fargo: A great place to bank, a better place to work

Store manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I like the fact that Wells Fargo is very innovative in products and services to offer their customers and the Vision and Values that has been adopted for both the customers and team members. The upper management that i have had the opportunity to work for within Wells Fargo, allows the Store Managers to run their "store" or banking center in a way that they would run their own business. The good side to that is if you have an effective manager it works and of course the opposite holds true. This says so much about the opportunity to learn and grow with such an awesome company.

Cons

The goals for the stores should be based on the current market they serve and not just an increase of the previous year. If you work here, you'll understand what I mean!
