Pros

WS (now Wells Fargo Advisors) is good in that it is too big to be small and not big enough to be a large tier one wirehouse firm.

Cons

The merger with AG Edwards was a big mistake regardless of managment admits it or not. A gigantic cutlural mismatch. For every job one person was doing at Wachovia, 2-3 people were doing it at AG Edwards. Also, no one knows ultimately what Wells Fargo is going to do with us. Three years from now, who knows!

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!
