Wells Fargo Securities Associate Lifestyle

Hi everyone,

I have a question on the lifestyle of an associate at WFS specifically in Charlotte. Can you speak to what compensation is like, what the hours are like and any other overall thoughts such as what industry groups tend to be better than others? Also, would there be a noticeable difference in lifestyle for an associate at WFS rather than an analyst (other than comp)?

I look forward to hearing everyone's responses!

Thanks for the response. When you say sweatshop - is that for all groups? Charlotte and NYC? How many hours per week are we talking here?

 

Thanks for the response! Do you have any idea what groups are best there? Are your friends glad they have spent the time with WFS? Any idea what they will do next?
