Pros

Competitive pay in most positions, great systems, good resources, and great benefits.

Cons

Bad management, no connection with higher up excecutives, your just a number, no empathy for employees, bearly any career opportunities, even HR is people hired from other countries and no remote positions when a lot are already hybrid, so the job CAN be done at home.

Pros

The benefits are pretty good.

Cons

The relatively new CEO decided to dissolve all work from home agreements and is pushing people back in the office a minimum of 3 days a week. It does not matter what your performance record is, how far you live from the office, whether you have team members or what your own manager thinks. He is treating seasoned professionals like children. He also wants to tear about the sense of team at Wells Fargo and recently stated during a Town Hall that he felt he joined a cult when he started at Wells Fargo. That's right, a cult. The term "team member" is no longer used because it is too cultish and we are now just employees. They say our mental health matters on Team Works, but he is doing everything he can to make our work environment cold, stark, un-personable, and unwelcoming. Stay away if you value your self worth.

Pros

Easy entrance to the financial field, with the right sucking up one can get ahead if you have moral flexibility to swindle people. If you don't have education and don't thrive in a meritocracy it is a place where you can truly succeed and fly up the ranks. People can rise from entry level teller to management despite lack of management experience or economic knowledge. Very pro-minority as they value diversity over skill. This place will give you a thicker skin in sales, if you can sell online banking and debit cards to 90 year olds you're apt to succeed.

Cons

Unfair business practices, management suggesting immoral practices, poorly trained and educated staff, extreme pressure to put extreme pressure on customers despite their best interests, subpar products that one is expected to push, repeated unethical and questionable business practices, managers who are uneducated, and uninformed, lack of concern for the best interests of the customers or employees. They fail to prune out employees that have been popped for violating policy, and punish those that follow it. Employees are encouraged to endlessly harass customers into products they don't need. This company embodies the peter principal, and rewards their most morally deficient employees.
