Vantaggi
-High base salary compared to the industry. -Compensation plan is actually pretty good and straightforward (2022). -Essentially the highest valued employee at the branch and you should have a private office. -Premier program is highly competitive and adds a lot of value for clients. -Absolutely zero pressure to perform which is probably a negative and is unsustainable in the long run.
Svantaggi
-You are absolutely handicapped as a banker. Cannot take ownership of client situations at all and outcomes are dependent on service departments that are poorly trained or do not care, sometimes have long wait times which means you can't do your job. -WF makes the client come into the branch for nearly everything due to the account opening scandal. Mass affluent clients realize this is dumb and burdensome. You're supposed to be a white glove service for clients and you can't do anything remotely. -Not supported in the branches nearly as much as you need to be. Branches are constantly short staffed and proper staffing and training is not made a priority. It falls back onto premier bankers to make sure things run smoothly which is a waste of talent and time. Not to mention you convince people to consolidate with WF and then they have absolutely horrendous experiences with untrained customer service/tellers which reflects poorly.
