Pros

If you enjoy being micro managed and constantly being threatened of getting fired, then this is the place for you!

Cons

Promotion discrimination. Not knowing your work schedule in advance. Working sometime 15 days straight without a day off. Being cheated on overtime. Yelled at for no reason. Too many reasons to list here. Sadly the company has no guts to fire an employee so the person gets bounced around to various departments bringing their incompetence to each new department. Is this such a reputable company that when an employee gives 2 week notice of leaving to the mgr, the next day the employee is escorted out of the building by police officers in front of all employees to see implying that the individual is guilty of a crime. This is how the company respects its employees?

Pros

It 's a great place to start out of college. They offer a competitive entry level salary.

Cons

The pay does not increase over time. They do not give big raises to employees who have stayed around for a while. They believe that you are valued and therefore they do not need to earn you. Honestly, work somewhere else once you have put two years in.

Pros

The pay at Wells Fargo Financial is adequate. You have a base salary and it is divided into an hourly wage, so overtime hours are regularly awarded. The benefits are also very good and affordable. You are given a good amount of vacation days which is ideal, however it is very difficult to actually use them.

Cons

This is the ultimate high pressure sales job. You are given the duty of calling current customers to sell various products to them. This is not bad, however your leads are very few. Most of the outbound calls will be to the same customers over and over, even if they have just said no, or even if they came into the office and were turned down. In addition to this practice, you are urged to deceive customers to get them into the office. Once in the office, you are to get "pre documents" signed, which are credit card applications. Once signed, you are to go back into the office and give them their options. Occasionally you will be able to show a benefit to a customer on an auto loan or a home loan, but more often than not you are offering a higher rate with longer term to show some sort of payment benefit. I will not get into the practices detailed, but I was uncomfortable performing the tasks expected of a credit manager. Additionally, I did not like the micro management that takes place within the company. Not only your branch manager, but district managers as well will be hovering over you while you work. It is an extremely uncomfortable setting, even if you are performing well.
