Pros

Pay is great, however, my first day my manager warned me not to tell anyone my salary because there have been people there for years and still making less (obviously a great sign Wells Fargo doesn’t value their current employees). Pay is decent with the caveat it’s not enough to stick around but I’d gladly take a pay cut to get out of Wells Fargo.

Cons

Pay is great, management is not. Management is out of touch with the real world. Continuous changes, lack of communication, poor leadership, lack of training, and an overall really tense work environment. The in office “hybrid” schedule was presented to us as flexible. Flexibility means your schedule is chosen at a high “team” level with zero communication or input given by the majority which you are forced to work under what works best for managers. Also gave us a week to figure out schedule changes with a “too bad so sad” mentality if you couldn’t make it work. You’ll be required to use PTO to meet your 3 day in office work requirement, for a job that can be done, and is done 2/5 days of the week, from home. Yes, management actually tells you you are required to use your own personal time off to meet the ever changing in office requirements. Leadership here in FCI is absolutely horrendous and management lacks empathy. You can fully expect to be micromanaged, tracked, and likely given zero productive feedback. If people with 10+ and 20+ years of employment with Wells Fargo are literally throwing up their hands and quitting, it’s not the employees; it’s your toxic management.

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!
