Pros

It is a great place for career advancement if you enjoy sales. You have quick opportunities for promotions to management positions in your first 2 years on the job.

Cons

If you do not want to work in sales for the next 7 years, you are better off not working here. If you want to move to another part of the company, you must move to Des Moines, IA.

Pros

It looks good on your resume and you can learn a lot from working there. Occasionally you will have a good manager who will support your growth in the company. If you are really good in sales then they will love you to death. If you meet goals then you get to go on trips and through out the quarter there are several different prizes you can win. The benefits are good and you can make a lot of connections. They offer to pay for your school. Your coworkers become you family.

Cons

Managers nag a lot. They will bring down your morale if you aren't up to their expectations. The pressure is incredibly high. Managers have a habit of breathing down your neck and making you feel really low. There is little support from most of them because they are never there to assist you when you need it or they micro manage you to the point that it becomes counter productive. Wells Fargo creates a very greedy enviornment and personality. If you mess up don't expect the company to help you, you are at their disposal like a drop of a pin. There is little stability in the job. It is almost like they are ready to get rid of you with the littlest mistake.
