Good pay and benefits, but limited growth potential - Analyst Wells Capital Employee Review

Great team, flexible hours, good work environment

Can't think of any now

Big company with many resources to help with your job. Medium-paced, quiet offices. Good credit training program.

Bank resources are underutilized. I found little collaboration between departments even though their work is intertwined e.g. an oil analyst won't talk with the commodities trading group; equity analysts and fixed income groups keep to themselves. Portfolio managers are happy with status quo, holding onto their position and skating. They have the "I don't care, it's not my $ attitude, when performance suffers", especially the institutional investment teams. They are lazy in a lot of cases and uninspiring. Not the type to flourish at other buy-side shops. Dead weight.. but why not? It's a cush job where the $ is ok. Wells Capital is not a name brand and without much credibility in the institutional/buy-side world. They don't take the time to further develop employees outside the credit training program. They wouldn't notice if you came in two hours late and left one hour early during the week days. Senior management doesn't exist. They don't show face around the organization. You only learn about them if you read a power point presentation (the org chart page).. that's assuming if PM's let you look at the presentation.
