Pros of working at Wells Fargo

There are plenty opportunities to enhance your skills and gain experience to advance in your career at Wells Fargo. Employees that demonstrate ambition, commitment, innovation and passion (i.e., actively seek out praise and use every available internal channel to amplify your success) without being narcissistic or toxic--AND consistently get results that advance LOB objectives, are rewarded generously.

Cons of working at Wells Fargo

A culture of cognitive dissonance. Callous, Conflicting, contradictory and tone deaf communications from senior leaders, coupled high turnover on the executive leadership team, make it difficult to synthesize informal overload. Messages either feel like two steps forward two steps back, or leaders' actions don't align with their talking points. Executives will proudly proclaim that employees are valued at Wells Fargo, and in the he same breath will say/do something that negates that, and attempt to hide the inconsistency with a boiler plate lecture on "change being constant"...employees should be thankful for the job that Wells Fargo has provided them...employees should be solution-oriented nimble change champions, not lumbering complainers and trouble makers. Essentially, it can simultaneously be an amazing and rewarding brand to be part of, AND an unhealthy, dysfunction relationship that will never love you back--despite demanding unconditional love from you.

Wells Fargo benefits

6% 401k match, and generous PTO/vacation time

N/A

How would you improve Wells Fargo's culture?

Employees want transparency and integrity from leaders.. Leaders want engagement from employees. Improving company culture would require the two expectation to meet in the middle.

How did you prepare for the Wells Fargo interview?

Company website, media coverage, social chatter, regulatory filings.

How does your compensation at Wells Fargo compare to the industry average?

I was lucky, my compensation was competitive.

What's the diversity at Wells Fargo like?

The higher up the corporate hierarchy, the less diverse and most resistant to change.

What brings you the most joy at Wells Fargo?

My colleagues and the people I work with are AMAZING. Culturally, there is huge disconnect. As employees, We are Wells Fargo, but Wells Fargo is not who we are.

Pros of working at Wells Fargo

A paycheck you MAY be able to rely on; benefits package; PTO amount is generous but comes at a high non-monetary cost of the employee

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

Wells Fargo benefits

Misery loves company so at least my team members and I can relate on that level and help the misery seem more tolerable

Pros of working at Wells Fargo

I've worked with some great individuals and learned a lot.

Cons of working at Wells Fargo

New management doesn't care about employees that have been there for a while. If you weren't a recent hire from Chase, Citi, BNY Mellon, or Bank of America, then your opinion seems to be worthless.

Wells Fargo benefits

Benefits have been gutted as part of cost cutting so the value of a number of things has been taken away.
