Pros

benefits are extensive, health, eye, dental, psych, counselling commuter pre tax, FSA pre tax, room to move around and gain experience up to mid level at least - many groups to move into and out of good life work balance

Cons

pay could be potentailly lower that other similar financial institutions, lots of tenured people so can get a little stale many of the groups are pretty flat from and org'l prespective and so there is not that much room to move within a group and this usually involves moving to another group they put and end to stock options for rank and file

Pros

Wide areas of specialization, not just "banking", lots of opportunities to move within, generally good work-life balance, diversity

Cons

depending on the department and the egos of the managers, or division heads, it can be a tough ride. WF is not a nimble organization, considerable wasted time in getting buy-in and concensus and approvals, etc., etc., etc. Certain departments pay a lot less than others for similar positions. Somewhat siloed operations, too much focus on sales culture, a little top heavy

Pros

Perks, 5 week vacations (25 work days, includes some holidays), financial compensation. I enjoyed my stay at Wells Fargo, which was all of 4 years. I enjoyed working with my teammates and it was fun at first, but then it dragged on.

Cons

Politics, boring work, older employees aren't too exciting... ;) Our VP was not very competent although he had other VPs to compensate for his weaknesses.
