Wells Fargo

Big company meaning lots of opportunities for internal movement. Work-life balance. Decent pay and good benefits.

Opportunities for growth in this job are almost nil.

Lots of full-timers have started taking the job for granted since the company doesn't easily fire FTEs for non-performance. At least 30% of the workforce works at less than 30% of their capacity, mostly just warming benches during the day.

Managers feel helpless while tackling FTEs who do not perform. Some FTEs are still working (or sitting idle) from home 90% of the time and come into the office just to mark attendance and leave.

Managers not firing non-performing employees affects the morale of other employees who give their heart and soul for the job.

Don't feel helpless in tackling non-performing employees. They have not inherited this company from their forefathers.

Keep the best interests of WF in your mind while doing performance reviews. Don't let personal acquaintance with non-performing employees get in the way, else you risk severely affecting the morale of non-performing employees.

You are not doing your job as a manager properly if you don't reward performance and punish non-performance.
