WF Industrials in Charlotte - hands down, best group, tons of deal flow.

LevFin is far and away WFS's best group.

Wells is a balance sheet bank. Their M&A platform is not great; most of their deals are debt related, which means you would want to be in LevFin or Sponsors. And Wells Sponsors is pretty shitty because the firm doesn't have existing relationships with any major funds. So you want to get onto LevFin. That's where you'll actually see major dealflow.

Do you guys think/know if WFS Industrials has good exit opps (specifically looking into PE)?

Yep. Every one of their guys last year went to a good sized PE fund or stayed on to be an associate. Culture and exit opps are killer.
