Pros
The only reason to work at WF is for the benefits. The PTO, legal insurance, STD / LTD (if you should ever need it), maternity / paternity leave and health insurance are top tier in comparison to other banks.
Cons
If you’re looking for growth opportunities and for leadership to care about your professional development, WF is not the place to be. They like for great talent to be comfortable and complacent. There’s a glass ceiling for retail associates. You see other lines of businesses investing in their talent, but branch associates are definitely stuck and stressed. A frequent complaint is that associates get interviewed, but never get the job. The new staffing models make branch life difficult. Minimal associates in the branch… if one person calls out, the day will be insane because most likely someone else has approved PTO or LOA, so there’s only 3 people working for the day.
