Pros

Wells fargo has very good benefits, more than normal vacation time. Very good tuition reimbursement plan.

Cons

Impossible to move up from the bottom level. Education is not valued at all in its employees nor encouraged, employees are treated like replaceable cattle, very restrictive and authoritarian environment. Middle management tends to be unskilled labor culled from the best brown-nosers of the lower positions. A very stressful and disrespectful place to work. creativity, initiative, and self-reliance is disdained and frowned upon. The micromanagement is horrendous. The job was honestly a nightmare. I have never been so poorly treated in my entire life as an employee.

Pros

Benefits (but cost creeping up and coverage creeping down each year), Good Morale Both Management and Coworkers, and Honestly a Great Company.

Cons

Cross Selling is the only focus now, firing employees who are great at their job in every area that should matter but if the cross selling results are not meeting the ever ridiculous quota (which continues to rise) than you may not have a job next month. Expectation for customers to say yes to cross selling, leaving you with no real control of your job security. Stress!
