Vantaggi
WF's securities trading unit is a pretty relaxed and friendly environment. Everyone is really nice and the floor doesn't have any of the east coast uptight attitude. You can definitely learn a lot if you take the time to pursue the information. Even though the company is pretty big, each division is very close-knit so you get to interact and communicate with a lot of people. There are a lot of volunteering opportunities as well for employees to take advantage of.
Svantaggi
Salary at WF is a joke. If you're moving up WF internally, your salary will never be as high as the other banks. We're talking base pay of roughly 50%-75% of the other BB banks out there. Bonus payouts are also pretty much non-existent. They always have restrictions for salary increases, so the best bet is to already have a pretty high salary from another company, and then enter the WF workforce. Also, upward movement here is pretty slow too. They do a lot of sideways moving, but it's hard to move up unless you schmooze (a lot) with the right people.
