Advice to Senior Management – N/A

Current Employee – been working at Wells Fargo

Pros – WFF is an excellent company to start out with if you are looking to begin a career in the finance industry. Decent training program to learn the ropes in lending.

Cons – The major downsides to working with the company include low salary to start, poor support and recognition, and a unattainable bonus structure in a few of the markets.

Advice to Senior Management – I believe the major issue with the corporation is that there is a very large gap between the ground level employees and upper level management who make the decisions. Many of the implemented policies do not seem to be very realistic.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Wells Fargo

Pros – You can get paid to do nothing.

Cons – How much space do I have for this?
Getting promoted is a joke. You're lucky if you get a 2% raise at promotion; there are NO yearly raises what so ever.
Bonus structure is laughable. Sure there is an "opportunity" to make more money, but it requires an emmence amount of effort for a pathetic return. 99% of Credit Managers don't make bonus, those who do its rare for it to be over a few hundred dollars.

Advice to Senior Management – Pay higher base salary and give bonuses. There minimum targets are WAY too high at this company (on purpose so they don't have to promote anyone). Turnover for Credit managers in the GTA area was OVER 90% IN 2008!!!!! 90% THAT IS NOT A TYPO

Current Employee – been working at Wells Fargo full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – There are a plethora of opportunities at WFB. If you are ambitious you will go places. If you can manage up you will even go farther. You can basically write your own ticket and enjoy a long career here.

Cons – Very political culture. A bit dog eat dog. Good Managers/leaders are hard to find through all the big egos at the top. As long as the bad managers are good at managing up it doesn't matter how they treat their team, they still seem to live on.

Advice to Senior Management – More teambuilding opportunities to bridge the gap between senior management and the worker bees.
