The pay and vacation time at Wells Fargo are generally pretty favorable compared to other financial services companies. Their job ranking system makes it fairly easy to move up ranks while staying in a position that you enjoy.

Cons

The benefits and job culture at Wells Fargo are increasingly poor. With their relentless focus on cutting costs internally, it has become a very unhappy and demoralized place to work.

Their recent and forced switch to HSA plans has caused large numbers of employees to incredibly dissatisfied. And no wonder, when medical costs have doubled or tripled in a single year, while at the same time essentially requiring the employees to stressfully micromanage medical expenses.

Lack of project management resources and co-ordination is needed. Should not chose this south Asian people for leadership position. Because they born to do politics.

Advice to Senior Management

Some investments in corporate infrastructure - reorganizations, office upgrades, software upgrades, could make Wells a much more nimble organization.

Cons

The management sets unrealistic goals for employees and then releases employees who are unable to attain these goals. Micro management is also a big management strategy at this organization. Communication is lacking between management and employees.

above average benefits package. strong 401k investment program. strong group work ethic & sharing of knopwledge among peers as well as management layers

Cons

large corporation can have a distant or impersonal feel at times, whether real or imagined. management layers spread across many states with employees having limited time to spend with their management team.
