Wells Fargo reviews

There is a reason they throw so much money at bankers when you don't need any banking experience or formal training to get the job. The turnover is very very high. People who can get out, usually choose to do so. Wells Fargo doesn't require any formal education, they don't conduct drug tests when hiring, and their background checks aren't through. People who cannot pass these barriers at other places of employment tend to remain instead of moving on from Wells Fargo and so through the years the concentration of people who are "trapped" grows. Ethics are lacking especially in management. Competition between co-workers is encouraged and often turns sour. Insecurities run very high so it can be pretty cutthroat, if you plan on doing well you better grow thick skin and get used to dealing with passive aggressive attacks. It's a lot like high school and if you go into it realizing this will you'll be better prepared to handle what you see. It's not a fun place to work and again there's a reason the turn over is so high and just remember there's a reason some people have to remain there for years despite hating their jobs.

The company is not set up to reward extraordinary efforts or top performers. Management's focus is on hiring and training "normal" people to carry out well defined tasks to generate predictable low-risk outcomes. Superstars and disruptive ideas are not welcomed. Stick to the manual
