Excellent benefits package, ample growth opportunities...

Systems support analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They offer a good benefits package and provide good work and life balance. Many teams offer work from home opportunities which is great in current times (with the explosive price of gas). The environment fosters learning and growth opportunities exist for those who are willing to go that extra mile.

Cons

Lack of structured processes. Inconsistent methods in delivering services to internal customers. There are many instances of things being done at the last minute, which causes quality to be below mark.

Wells Fargo--Best Company To Work For

Credit manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's great to know you're with one of the greatest and most respected companies in the world. They have great salary potentials, wonderful benefits, amazing opportunity for advancement, and a very knowledgeable and wise leadership. In an industry that's really taking a beating right now, Wells Fargo is still standing strong. Many banks and financial institutions are laying off masses of employees, while Wells Fargo is still hiring aggressively. It's also encouraging to see those who are leading the company now and learn that many of them began in the same position--credit manager. It shows that if you're willing to put in hard work and be loyal, you will be rewarded!

Cons

You may possess all the qualities to make yourself an amazing manager, but if your personal sales numbers don't match up then you'll never get a shot.

Great place to gain experience if you are committed to working in a retail branch setting.

Business Outlook

Pros

Wells Fargo offers tuition reimbursement and is a great place work while attending school. Unfortunately it seems as though the experience gained has little relevence outside of the financial services arena.

Cons

It is a very competitive sales environment in which senior management gives a tremendous amount of pressure. Economic conditions set aside, you are still required to hit all sales goals.
