Current Employee – been working at Wells Fargo full-time for more than 10 years

ProsThere are a plethora of opportunities at WFB. If you are ambitious you will go places. If you can manage up you will even go farther. You can basically write your own ticket and enjoy a long career here.

ConsVery political culture. A bit dog eat dog. Good Managers/leaders are hard to find through all the big egos at the top. As long as the bad managers are good at managing up it doesn't matter how they treat their team, they still seem to live on.

Advice to Senior ManagementMore teambuilding opportunities to bridge the gap between senior management and the worker bees.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Spring, TX

Former Employee – worked at Wells Fargo full-time for more than 8 years

ProsLots of opportunities for growth in skills ranks and positions. Starting pay is well matched according to experience and skill levels. Bank hours are great.

ConsMeeting daily quotas can get stressful. Before if you met all your goals above a certain level in your district, you would be awarded with a trip to Hawaii or Las Vegas. But now that doesn't happen anymore.

Los Angeles, CA

Current Employee – been working at Wells Fargo full-time for more than 8 years

ProsLarge bank with with overall good opportunity for growth in your career. Very talented people working in the organization throughout. Competitive salaries at higher level positions, employee discounts for banking services, Good place to challenge your skill set

ConsToo many fire drills or last minute assignments routinely, company believes people should work non stop, company talks work life balance but does not follow the model. Too many emails and conference calls taking you away from doing your primary work

Advice to Senior ManagementGive employees more ability to make decisions in their leadership roles, ask the employees and leaders doing the work before making broad decisions. Practice work life balance, not only in theory.
