What's the vibe like in the Communications dept at Wells Fargo? How many hours are you working?
The vibe is still somewhat negative at the moment due to the customer service problems/negative news that the company has experienced over the past 18 months. Since Communications has to try to manage the company's reputation, the negative energy directed at our company by customers and the media hits us especially hard. Corporate management is trying to take steps to improve employee morale, which is a positive. Recent steps include adding additional paid holidays and a stock award program for all employees. Hours are 45-60 on average, with weekend and evening crisis management a regular occurrence. Stress level is high for most.

How's the leadership on the Communications team at Wells Fargo?
Leadership in Communications varies greatly. There are some excellent managers, but unfortunately, also some very poor managers. The best managers help create career paths for employees, the ones at the other end of the spectrum hold people back and destroy morale. The head of the division is a strong communications practitioner and does an good job of leading the function. However, he devotes very little time to managing people, which means poor managers are allowed to remain in their positions and leads to a toxic environment in some parts of the division.
