Wells Fargo Is Hiring: What It's Really Like To Work There

any company that would fire a 68 year old employee for using a wooden nickel in a vending machine 50 years ago is not a good place to work. fired for fraud and then not reinstated after the media attention but told you could "re-apply" for your old job. horrible company for many, many reasons experienced by myself and my husband both as we are both ex-employees of the company and for very good reason....

I call it HellsFargo......by far the worst place I have ever worked!! When they took over Wachovia......I knew I would have to go......Seems like all they were worried about was SALES......I am so much happier now!!!!!!

just wondering here, if it is such a great place to work, why do they have so many openings. People must be leaving to go else where to make these openings. Anyone know that answer?

If I had to choose between working for Wells Fargo or working in hell, I would choose hell. Yes, it's that bad.

My banking career started about 20 years ago when I went to work for Barnett Bank in Florida, which was a wonderful place to work. They were bought out by First Union, which wasn't quite as nice and were then taken over by Wachovia Bank, who wasn't as nice to work for as First Union. But my career in banking ended shortly after the Treasury Dept "gave" Wachovia to Wells Fargo. Their nickname The Evil Empire is a compliment. I actually begged my boss and his boss to fire me, but they didn't have the stones to do that, so I threw them out of my branch and told them to stop torturing me. You see, they couldn't get me on my numbers, they couldn't get me on policy or procedure violations, but insisted on tormenting me on a daily basis. It was such a terrible workplace environment that half the staff called off regularly and the half that showed up for work went home in tears most days, all of which made it extremely difficult on the ones that did show up for work. And customer service - they have never heard of anything other than bend over and grab your ankles. Same for the employees. Someone should do a check on short and long term disability claims since the takeover of Wachovia. I know of dozens of people who took that route to get away from the daily beatings and have some time to find other jobs. The employee turnover rate in Florida branches since 2009 must be over 90%. And the 19% share of market that Wachovia enjoyed in Florida must be less that 10% today. The San Fran mafia should be ashamed of what they did to thousands of families and small businesses in the State of Florida. But don't worry, do you think that any of these people will do business with Wells Fargo in the future? Not if they are the only bank left in business.

Wells Fargo was at one time one of the best companies to work for. Slowly Wells Fargo started to get bigger and bigger and then they started to ride their employees carrying only about numbers. The stress level was so high that employees were always going out on Loa. Once Andy and Gary were fired our center went down hill. We as employees became very expendable. Supervisors would get yelled and screamed at by managers then they would then jump all over line employees. No one will ever understand the pressure and stress we were put under as employees. Wells Fargo could care less how they treated us. Even when the head honchos came into our office to give us the news they were closing us down you could see the smiles on their faces. We were all just work horses for them when things were good they loved our center when the economy took a bust we were now hated not only by management but also by the other centers.

When was the last time Claire and the Staff at the Huffingtoin Post took a Drug Test?

Worst place I have ever worked. The worst company by far. I was laid off for extremely shady reasons. I was told it was because of my sales (I had recently asked to be moved down from full time to part time which they said they would be more than happy to accommodate because I was one of their best tellers). I was 3rd in sales at the full time level, if they had prorated my sales like they were supposed to with my hours being cut in half, I would have been number 1 in sales. The day they let me go they asked me to hand write a two weeks notice. When I called HR, the HR rep broke confidentiality on multiple occasions. Do not work for this company, let alone bank there. They achieve sales through unethical means and they support having terrible managers who will bring illegal substances on bank premises, despite having documented reports to HR.

My mortgage is managed by Wells Fargo but owned by Goldman Sachs [not originally]. I am current on my mortgage and have not been 30 days late in over four years. Yet, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage calls my home 3 to 4 times a day. When I initially answered these calls, after confirming to them I was in fact the mortgage holder, I asked why they are calling me? The WF rep said it was an automated call system. I asked them to stop calling. These calls did not stop. Subsequently, when I recently answered them, a WF rep began demanding payment for something that is part of my mortgage payment. When I tried to have a civil discussion on how I the mortgage holder who is current on their mortgage could threaten with some kind of collection, I was verbally treated as if I was trying to evade paying. Absolutely Alice and Wonderland! Finally in frustration, I demanded to speak with a WF customer service supervisor. The WF rep responded with the rude and ridiculous accusation: I was refusing to cooperate. Then after demanding repeatedly to speak with a WF customer service supervisor, I was transferred, it rang half a dozen times and was disconnected. Wells Fargo Home Mortgage is in trouble. I don't know all the troubling details with WFHM but if they treat current mortgage holders this way, all is lost. WHogarth
