Pros

The benefits are really good especially if you plan on having a baby. Gain good experience in the finacial industry with a company that is secure and well respected. They train you a ton and you can learn a lot.

Cons

You are stuck in every position for at least a year with no exceptions. Once you get a degree they dont care and you wont be promoted. Wells is very political and you'll move up only if you network well. They stress performance but when it comes down to it, it's all about who you know. Management is typically left over from early mergers and they are way past their prime. The older managers have no idea what's going on and no product knolwedge. You work at a fast pace and are expected to bring in huge goals for the company while paying you peanuts for comission's. They completely weeded out the Financial Advisors. You'll be expected to wear suits for a 15/hr job! They want you to look profesional but treat you like children, seriously...You will always only be considered a number. The turn over rate is huge because of this.

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!
