Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 days)
the correspondence with this company was very lackluster, almost as if they were apathetic in filling the position i applied for. while follow-up for my second interview was rapid, the first left me with an overall sense of confusion.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 3 weeks)
The hiring process consisted of 3 rounds of interviews. For me, the first was with senior leaders in the group (3 of them), the second was with managers (4 of them), and the last was with the top executive of the group (1 person). All were 1:1.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Fargo, ND (took a day)
Wells Fargo's description of the Teller position suggests that it is a customer service job, but the role of the Teller is to sell banking products directly to customers and/or refer customers to Bankers to sell products.
The formula Wells Fargo uses for sales pitches is to make warm greeting with a smile and handshake (if possible), build rapport using customer's name a minimum of 2 times, summarize reason customer is there, identify most relevant product customer is missing, start conversation about benefits of identified product without naming the product, and gain commitment for purchase of that product, finally summarize everything that was done and say goodbye using customer's name again. In the hiring process managers will have interviewees act out make-believe sales looking for candidates who follow this formula.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
I applied online through the Wells Fargo website and received a call to from a recruiter a few days later. The recruiter went over the position as far as scheduling(5 days a week including 1 weekend day), hours (either 8a-4:30p or 4:30p-1a), and pay (Average $12/hour). Shifts are available based on business needs, so you don't get to pick your shift or which weekend day you'd like off. After agreeing to continue with the interview process, the recruiter scheduled a phone interview for the next day at 1p. She also gave me the number for the interviewer in case I had any questions beforehand.
I received a call from an 800 number at 1p on the dot. I answered and repeated "Hello?" several times and then the caller hung up. I called back and was routed to the WF customer service queue, which I thought was ironic since that was the position I was interviewing for. I hung up and called the number to the interviewer that the recruiter gave me and received an automated message that the number was not in service. I then emailed the recruiter and told her what happened, but never heard back.
This was a very frustrating experience, as my time was wasted preparing and waiting for nothing.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Fort Collins, CO (took 2 weeks)
First off, I would like to thank everyone for the posts that they uploaded. They were extremely helpful and made getting through the group interview fairly easy. For all of you preparing for your group interview, the questions asked are the SAME as the ones previously posted. My advice is to write down ALL of the questions (because you do not know which ones will be asked of you) and practice answering the questions. I noticed that during my interview a lot of people we not prepared or organized when the time came to answer the interview questions. I spent about 3 hours preparing the night before and had my husband do a Q&A session with me. The more prepared you are the better. Also, try and sit close to the hiring manager and give her/him full eye contact. When the interview questions are asked try to be in the top five. This shows that you are prepared and not relying on the answers of other applicants (plus you don't have to worry about repeating someone else).
The downfall to the position that I applied for was that there are four positions and they have had over 200 applicants plus they are considering hiring internally (those who want to transfer). Give it your best shot! I am hopeful that I will get a call back for a final interview...
Questions asked:
Introduction-Name, Why Wells Fargo?, Work Experience (related to job), Why Sales?
Interview Questions:
1) Tell me about a time you overcame an obstacle? What did you do? What was the outcome? Did you receive recognition?
2) Tell me about a time when you gave someone excellent customer service (sales related). What did you do, what was the outcome, did you receive recognition?
