Wells Fargos' Autopsy
You'll want to check out the blog at http://brandautopsy.typepad.com/brandautopsy/2007/03/would_you_miss__4.html.
Here's a sample:
Here's a sample:
From the moment Norwest purchased Wells Fargo it already deceived its customers. Who the heck knows anything about Norwest in the West Coast?
Wells Fargo says it advocates diversity, yet their executive board is ran by a bunch of rednecks. Name a single african american person serving it's executive board, who reports to DICK?
Wells Fargo says it advocates community support, yet it does not have programs for low income customers. I challenge you to walk at a branch wearing a t-shirt and a simple pair of jeans, and see how they'll treat you.
Wells Fargo says it encourages growth and retention of their employees, yet the turn-over of tellers and bankers are extremely high.
They have a good marketing strategy, and that is to lure consumers to get all their banking services through them - a Norwest principle. You get a discount for bundled services. Is this really safe? Think again.
The head of their marketing introduced a strategy called "value proposition", this is designed to make consumers "feel good", through photographs, brochures, media. The idea was, how to make consumers feel good, so they would borrow more money. One of their tag line for a home equity loan was "smart management of your home asset". If you were smart, should you put your property on the line of possible foreclosure?
Look at the junk mails you received for Mortgage or Home Equity loans, does it say anything about risk about foreclosure? Look at the fine print in the back. I bet you there's none.
I know one thing for certain because I worked there before. I am never coming back. I'll advise friends, family, and just about anyone I know to put their money elsewhere.
Banking with a local credit union is SMARTER.
Hope somebody trademarks this last phrase!

Wells Fargo Financial branch managers harrass their employees and threaten California
I have been an employee of Wells Fargo Financial in California for the past 16 months. I've been ripped off of my peace of mind by my manager. I am a credit manager, this position is all about sales. I had previously worked in sales for Citibank, but it wasn't as cut-throat as Wells Fargo Financial.
First of all, I never received any formal training, just learned as I went. My job performance was rated as average or fully satisfactory for the first 2 months. All the other employees had quit so it was just me and another guy. My manager met w/ us every few days and banged on tables and cussed up a storm b/c we weren't performing to his satisfaction.
He pulled me in to an office and yelled at me til I broke down and started crying. Needless to say, rather than improving my sales actually got worse b/c every time I made a sales call he would be sitting there behind me pressuring me to say certain things and not let the customer off the phone.
I started seeing a psychiatrist b/c I was under so much stress. The Dr. suggested that I quit and look for another job. Just when I had decided to quit, he pulled me aside and accused me of lying on some tracking sheets! I was outraged b/c I never lied so I decided not to quit b/c he threatened me by saying if I quit he wouldn't tell anyone I had lied! I told him I wasn't quitting but that I did want to transfer out of his office!
The transfer process has been going on for months now, and during that time I have put up w/SO much emotional abuse! I stay just b/c I know he wants me to quit and it bothers me that during the course of 12 months he has forced 6, yes SIX people to resign! Its an office of four, so you do the math on how many times he's restaffed the whole office!
The strange thing is he thinks he's had 'problem' employees, he doesn't see himself as a problem manager!
I've finally had it last week he told me that Wells Fargo Financial wasn't going to transfer me and that 'in his humble opinion' I should quit, after all, I'll be getting 'two weeks severance'...I've been fretting ever since.
I'm a mother, I have responsibilities, I can't afford to be w/out a job for even one day! I don't know what to do, ever since the day we had that last talk, he doesn't speak to me or respond when I speak to him and he has me doing all the menial clerical functions in the office... I am a college graduate, and I want to keep my job, just in a different office.
Is there anything I can do?

Beware of the HR practices at Wells Fargo Financial, too!
To follow-up regarding contacting WFF's HR Department. I am an ex-employee, and did exactly that as I had a supervisor who was pressuring me so unfairly it had made me an emotional wreck, creating an unhealthy work environment, he was enjoying destroying me, and I had had it.
'Somehow' my supervisor found out exactly what I had told the women in HR. That being said, within weeks, they pushed me out uncerimoniously after well over 10 years of service, using the 'Bad Attitude, non-team player' excuse, which was furthest from the truth, but we know what hell is like in the corporate world when they want somebody out. It was so wrong.
HR at Wells Fargo Financial cannot be trusted! They failed to protect my confidentiality, failed to address my concerns, and deceived an employee at a time when they were to step up to the plate. I consulted an attorney who agreed with my accusations, but advised to simply move on as these corporations can intentionally prolong these cases, ruin my name further, and have the $$ to milk me in the process. Plus, it's not the greatest thing for your new employer to find out.

Employee Harrassment, Unfair Treatment, Terrible Loans
The following information appeared at http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/328/ripoff0328824.htm
I was a Credit Manager for Wells Fargo Financial for almost 2 1/2 years, and I cannot believe I stayed that long. In the time I was there, I had gone through 2 managers, 2 DM's, 2 RM's, and maybe 15 other Credit Managers whom which either were fired, quit, or made-to-quit.
I should have known I was stepping into a bad career when within the first 2 months, I had already seen 3 employees quit, one in which started after I begun working, only to leave about a month later.
My first manager was dishonest about everything from money to be made, job satisfaction, and even to the customers. He told me I would be making $60k a year, loving life, enjoying a fun work place. After the fact, my starting salary was $30k, and my bonuses couldn't ever be more than $2500, and that was if you ended up closing 4 or more mortgages, which we all know, in that place, is nearly impossible to do on a consistent basis. Some people did it, but just found out they were fired for manipulation of data and forging signatures!
I was working far more than the 40 hours I was told I would work, and never got paid overtime. I confronted my manager after 2 months and asked about overtime in front of the other employees (they had told me we won't ever be paid OT), and he pulled me in the booth (I'm sure we've all been in there at some point), and screamed at for bringing up that subject with everyone around. And it never got resolved.
A few months later, he was fired because so many employees had resigned and complained about him, only to be replaced by someone with a bigger ego that him.
At first, we all were excited to have someone fresh to the office who would give us some good direction. However, he belittled everyone who was working there, not only in front of the whole office, but outside of work too. We would get harassed for not going out to drink with him after work or the weekends (he just got a DUI a few months ago). My best friend just got laid off there by him, right as he was leaving for vacation. Taking PTO was like pulling teeth. I felt like I could never take a vacation because it was too nerve-racking to hear what his response would be.
Onto the products and loans. I have never seen so many high-rate credit cards in my life, with annual fees on top of that!!! We were made to sell so many of them, all to people with enough credit card debt to force them into bankruptcy. I felt sick everyday because I would have to sell people things I knew wouldn't benefit them. Granted, some loans were the only thing they would have left, but come on, 4 points on every mortgage sold to customers. And auto loans that would leave these people stuck in their cars they thought they could get rid of. And the rates on the mortgages were outrageous! I would never refi my house will Wells, even if it were the last place I could go.
Now that I have a new job, in a completely different field, I have been so much happier, and everyone can tell. I hope whoever works at Wells never has the experience I had, and the majority of the other people who are still working there too.

I worked for these f**kers when they merged with Norwest. Wells Fargo squeezes every bit of fun and life out of its employees. I would advise anyone thinking of working for them to not do it. Let your friends and family know as well.
