Great training

Pros

Excellent training. The company is known in the industry for solid sales training. There are few companies in the country that expect such a drive from their employee and still give the resources and training to accomplish what they ask. In addition, typically the work schedule will be accomodating to your life. Many people attend school or have family functions that they work around. This typically is not much of a hinderance.

Cons

Moving out of the retail sector is difficult. There are many different arms of the corporation and moving within one or the other is relatively easy, but if you want to make a move between divisions it typically will mean a paycut which may be untenable.

Pros

Wells Fargo was a great company to work and offered one of the best health insurance and benefits packages. In my experience, coworkers were warm and friendly, welcoming new workers in the job environment and were a tight knit family. In addition, Wells Fargo has a good variety of positions from teller, personal banker, underwriter..etc. They have a variety of undergraduate/graduate job rotation programs that take on graduating students into the workforce and put them in rotation with multiple offices across the company. These rotation programs pop up all the time in job listing and are a great way for students to enhance their professional skills.

Cons

Management is discouraging about job growth and potential opportunities. In my experience at Wells Fargo, after meeting the minimum required time in position requirements, I had a discouraging conversation with upper managment about a position I was interested in. Prior to applying for the position, senior management tried to stray me away from the position making me feel like I was stripped of an opportunity without even having the chance to compete with my peers. This situation left a sour taste in my mouth about Wells Fargo's management team and influence on employees in branches. Because workers within the branch may have higher turnover than other positions, it seems that management tries to hold onto branch workers as long as possible.
