Cons of working at Wells Fargo

They make it clear they DO NOT care about their employees, they dismiss you if you have a disability and point fingers to avoid accountability; everyone who I’ve spoken to who has had disability leave has stated the same; every team is spread so thin that days off are no longer days off as you end up working double shifts to make up the time as there are no “backups” accounted for in staff management
