Pros

Great benefits, good salary, great training.

Cons

You essentially are a car salesman. Wells Fargo implements goals for bankers to attain bonuses so high that you have to offer financial products that the customer might not need or want. You basically convince customers that they need the products. Bankers at Wells are not true lenders but order takers. Wells Fargo pushes community banking but it really is not. Loan decisions are made in Neveda, phoniex, or Texas. Bankers have to "sell" 8 solutions to each customer. And some management has the philosophy "just do it" regardless if the customer needs the service.

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!
