Pros

Good PTO Competitive 401k Not much else

Cons

After 5 years AND a promotion, I was STILL making less than $15 an hour. They quietly raised the company's minimum wage to $13.50, and I found out that my wages had only been raised from $13.48 to... $13.50. I was FURIOUS. I had been a good employee for five years, and I'd been promoted - my wages should have reflected that. After finally going to my boss's boss's boss, I received a whopping 80 cent raise. I felt like I'd been slapped in the face. My boss one time pulled me into a meeting room to inform me a rumor was going around that I had been seen sleeping with a married coworker in the parking garage (a rumor that was NOT true). Over the course of three years, I applied 10 different times to the same position (the position above mine), and at one point, a man that I had caught cheating the system and that my manager had asked me to write an in-depth report on how exactly he was doing it, was promoted to the position instead of me. It was literally down to the two of us and they chose the guy that they had asked me to write a report on. At one point, I figured out that my manager had asked my coworker (my PEER) to spy on me. If I so much as looked at my phone (which was ALLOWED), it was reported to my manager. If you so much as went to lunch with a coworker of the opposite sex, rumors circulated that you were sleeping together People were catty and snarky and awful Wells Fargo takes advantages of its employees AND its customers.

Pros

Good ALM team to work for and also very supportive ALM corporate Risk Business team.

Cons

I was a past employee of Wells Fargo. We have a change in management I past years and the current manager is more of a people manager who do not understand the functionality and the code where lot of questions are asked with the team by him that why we are doing this all the time ? He keep on putting his team under the bus in front of the business. Also wanted to change the technology to Java since the application was running smoothly in .NET and is deployed in cloud successfully. He keeps on creating problems for the team that the application is slow and UI layouts are old and performance is slow whereas the application is upgraded to .NET 8 and all the libraries are also updated. In production the application is very much responsive and fast and since he do not like .NET and is a Java person, he constantly creates lot of issues for the team. Personally I am not against any technology but creating and spreading false information is detrimental to the team and to the business. He also take care of the credit or work performed by the team to his own .

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!
