Safe company, the company not only thinks of themselves, but what will happen to the company five years from that decision.

Cons

It can be a bit stressful when the whip gets cracked when it comes to sales. You have to be prepared to make sales a true priority.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep in mind that your employee's have to balance their stress just as you do. Don't let it roll down hill as much.

Pros

Wells Fargo is a very well known brand and it really stands out when mentioning companies. The work environment and management was also top notch and the rewards are fair.

Cons

While working as a teller, you are encouraged to push for a lot of sales for new products and opening accounts. It can be stressful at first but once you get the hang of it it's all reflexes

Advice to Senior Management

There really isn't much advice to give as a teller because I understand that you need to push for sales in order to build the business and for their own recognition too.

Pros

High level of professionalism, good leaders that recognize work well done and make you feel relevant

Cons

Health benefits have been downgraded. It is a very large organization and communication at times may not be optimal given its size.

Advice to Senior Management

Continue to do things the way they are being done

Pros

Best in class staff team members, I feel that I am working with the best of the best very day I come into work. Love the challenge and learning from others on a daily basis. In other organizations, it felt that people were just there for a paycheck, here we believe in the company and do our best to support its mission and purpose.

Cons

Large organization, sometimes difficult to get decisions made due to size/complexity and matrix.

Advice to Senior Management

None - our management is very competent.

Pros

There is plenty of room for growth and personal/professional development, all within a culture which truly values integrity and diversity.

Cons

They were not able to sponsor my green card, and I ultimately had to leave when my H1B expired.

Pros

Your own schedule. Great facilities.

Cons

Takes a while to get paid on your deals.

Advice to Senior Management

Pat your people on the back more

Pros

great compensation plan for those who go above and beyond , service is very important and great service is rewarded with additional payouts

Cons

goals are too high they need to be lowered, management does not understand how goals are determined and reached , change payout structure for licensed bankers

Advice to Senior Management

lower goals so people become less likely to do unethical things, solutions should be weighed less on manager salaries and more focus should be placed on high valued products then number of products sold

Pros

Easy to grow within the company, and there are great resources available to help you succeed. They also make it easy to work while going to school.

Cons

They promote people even if they are not quite ready to be in a supervisor position. Very hard to get the personal time you want off.

Advice to Senior Management

Watch the service managers closer, not all of the are good at or can handle the position they are in.
