Pros

good benefits and good locations to work at, if in California.

Cons

pay structure..dont get paid for what your worth..rather than how much management wants to pull the wool over your eyes. Management structuring is horrible, people who are not qualified to manage or lead ever are somehow promoted to high level status. Branches are run like sweat shops and banker/cssr's/tellers are required to do everything but sell there soul on a daily basis. The requirements to work there are that you sell people things they dont need and shouldnt have, car salesman have a bad rap. But when its in perspective Bankers at Wells are told to be a million more times pushier than the local used car salesman. Could be a great company to work for then again isnt that the same for all of them...!

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!
