Vantaggi
There are ample opportunities for professional development including quarterly to annual development planning meetings with your direct manager. In these meetings, they discuss with you what your career goals and long-term passions are. Then together you create a plan to help you work toward those goals, whether it is learning a new skill or job-shadowing someone in a different department. Throughout the company, there is a strong support of work-life balance. If I am traveling for several days at a time, I am able to work remotely from home the next few days in order to be visible to my children.
Svantaggi
Because it is a financial institution in difficult financial market, positions and department with sales goals sometimes struggle. Also, the instability in the market makes some employees hesitant or insecure about their jobs. However, those who have been with the company for many years are able to reassure them of the strength and stability of the company and ease these worries. In addition, those with positions in an actual bank (Wells Fargo or another) always have the unfortunate possibility of being involved or present for a bank robbery. But, Wells Fargo has MANY compliance processes to avoid these situations and various types of support for employees after a situation like this occurs.
