Pros

Pay range, 401k match, PTO, Bonus.

Cons

Would not recommend at all for tech workers. Unskilled , Unprofessional tech managers with absolutely ZERO people skills and Zero knowledge about software development are taking the company down. Everything is done off shore (india). The quality and communication from over there is Extremely Poor! Tech workers on west coast have no work life balance because they are forced to work eastern time (which is 6am pacific). Because of this their career growth has stopped and involuntarily forced to leave the company. Is this even legal ?

Pros

-High base salary compared to the industry. -Compensation plan is actually pretty good and straightforward (2022). -Essentially the highest valued employee at the branch and you should have a private office. -Premier program is highly competitive and adds a lot of value for clients. -Absolutely zero pressure to perform which is probably a negative and is unsustainable in the long run.

Cons

-You are absolutely handicapped as a banker. Cannot take ownership of client situations at all and outcomes are dependent on service departments that are poorly trained or do not care, sometimes have long wait times which means you can't do your job. -WF makes the client come into the branch for nearly everything due to the account opening scandal. Mass affluent clients realize this is dumb and burdensome. You're supposed to be a white glove service for clients and you can't do anything remotely. -Not supported in the branches nearly as much as you need to be. Branches are constantly short staffed and proper staffing and training is not made a priority. It falls back onto premier bankers to make sure things run smoothly which is a waste of talent and time. Not to mention you convince people to consolidate with WF and then they have absolutely horrendous experiences with untrained customer service/tellers which reflects poorly.

Pros

Work with some nice people, depending on the audit

Cons

Very understaffed with lots of turnover. Thrown to the wolves when you start. Constant changes in audit methodology and templates. Very underpaid and overworked. Raises and bonuses are a joke, as we work lots of hours on audit engagements. Management's go to line is "we have a tight deadline" for every single audit. No flexibility to work fully remote, even though the job is easily doable from a remote perspective. Absolutely no work life balance
