Pros

- I worked with people who really wanted to do the best thing for the customers - People who rally understood how the business works - Scale and size to make an industry changing models - Did things that

Cons

- Technology and tools are way behind; and trying to get permission to adopt not even cutting edge (Slack for example) is impossible - Someone makes a mistake, add a process to make sure it does not happen again. Problem is you end up with way too much overhead - Risk trumps literally anything - Can't make decisions - took 3 plus years to choose a public cloud vendor AND that decision was 180 degrees the opposite of the direction the year before. - If you worked for Wells before 2018, your chances to get promoted are almost none. New management chain is 100% Chase based.

Pros

Benefits (but cost creeping up and coverage creeping down each year), Good Morale Both Management and Coworkers, and Honestly a Great Company.

Cons

Cross Selling is the only focus now, firing employees who are great at their job in every area that should matter but if the cross selling results are not meeting the ever ridiculous quota (which continues to rise) than you may not have a job next month. Expectation for customers to say yes to cross selling, leaving you with no real control of your job security. Stress!
