      Wish we could return to the innovative leadership we once had

      Vice president

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are some small nuggets of areas within Wells Fargo that are still innovative. Additionally, there are a few senior managers that are effective visionary leaders. and have strong senior management as leaders. The management is allows for time off for personal reasons.

      Cons

      Overall, our senior management are not strong leaders or encourgage/reward their employees to be innovative thinkers. We used to be the pioneers and were the first to introduce new and innovative products and services to our customers. Sad to say that we now tend to sit on the sidelines and let other financial institutions lead the way.

      Balanced Tradeoffs

      Product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fair overall. Ethical. Balanced. Good place to spend some time in a career. Acknowledges need for work-life balance and makes a lot of effort to retain solid folks over the longer haul when possible. Good benefits and training offered throughout the company.

      Cons

      Some challenges in moving around once you get beyond 5 years or so for most. Some promotions can be very biased. Tendency to tolerate less-capable people managers in some areas. In corp jobs, analysts and consultants masquerade as leaders. Finance is a power function. Sales versus marketing-driven. Technology is uneven - some divisions have better tools than others. Behind the times in computerized systems for retail branch use.

      A good place to start

      Commercial loan officer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great training program. Good benefits. Opportunities to move around the country.

      Cons

      A big corporate machine. All numbers driven. Once you miss your numbers, your career is over within the bank. Very high pressure sales environment. Senior management only konws you by way of reports. Frontline managers are no help at all. Promotion comes by way of who you know, not what you know. Lots of empty promises just to keep you moving as fast as possible. Very high turnover.
