Pros

Great training and peers. I started with very little knowledge in banking and i could never imagine the knowledge or carrier growth ive had. Lots of opportunity to learn and grow pre 2020. Customers are amazing. My managers have always treated me well and supported my carrier development.

Cons

In the last three years the company's heart has been ripped out and so has mine! I worked for Wells Fargo for 20 years. Ive watched almost every great leader i've worked with lose their jobs. Before i was also packaged out it was hard to watch customer first values go out the door. New high level leaders say they care but their actions do not show it. They reflect trading long time employees for tax write offs. There are barley anyone workers left in branches to properly service clients. Not sure if being a hard worker or a top performer is valued any longer. Atleast not at Wells Fargo. It may be for the best because it you live in California growth opportunities are limited due to all positions in my department need to be in centralized hubs. Last soap box many tech issues.

Pros

Great company to build experience and grow professionally. The benefits and PTO were excellent, and there were many opportunities for career development and internal growth. I learned a lot during my time there, especially in operations, customer service, and working in a fast-paced environment. Management was supportive and often acted more like career coaches, encouraging employees to develop new skills and move forward in their careers. I also built strong friendships and professional connections that I still value today.

Cons

The role could be demanding because Operations Managers often had responsibilities across multiple areas of the branch. At times, it felt like being the bridge between upper management, bankers, tellers, and customers all at once. In addition to management responsibilities, I was also expected to assist on the teller line, maintain a cash drawer, and help resolve escalated customer concerns. The workload could occasionally feel heavy for one person, especially in busy branches.

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!
