Pros

The pay at Wells Fargo was good for the area and it was within the limits of the competition. The benefits were very good. The tools available are very up to date, and the flexibility in my schedule was nice.

Cons

Management had a warped sense of right and wrong. Situational ethics ran rampant. If you didn't agree with every word of management you were an outcast. If you weren't selling to every customer they thought you were not doing your job. Some policies were pointless and overlooked. Being an honest banker is very hard to do and I saw many times when dishonest bankers were rewarded time and again for opening accounts they shouldn't have, opening credit cards and lines of credit for people without their knowledge or consent and they were the ones getting the awards and recognition at parties.

Pros

Great company to build experience and grow professionally. The benefits and PTO were excellent, and there were many opportunities for career development and internal growth. I learned a lot during my time there, especially in operations, customer service, and working in a fast-paced environment. Management was supportive and often acted more like career coaches, encouraging employees to develop new skills and move forward in their careers. I also built strong friendships and professional connections that I still value today.

Cons

The role could be demanding because Operations Managers often had responsibilities across multiple areas of the branch. At times, it felt like being the bridge between upper management, bankers, tellers, and customers all at once. In addition to management responsibilities, I was also expected to assist on the teller line, maintain a cash drawer, and help resolve escalated customer concerns. The workload could occasionally feel heavy for one person, especially in busy branches.

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!
