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 Mar 2010 in Hanover, VA (took 5 days)
I was contacted by phone the day before my interview.They didn't ask to much about the position.I went on the interview on a Tuesday ready for the challenge. They asked me three questions in a from called STAR (Situation Or Task Action and Result ). You have to explain every answer in that format, or they will keep asking you until you do. It took a week for me to hear back from them, their response was they loved my interviewing skills but I lacked the experience.

Apply online through wellsfargo.com/careers. Service Manager will call and schedule an interview. Dress professionally- at a minimum nice shirt/tie. I have subsequently sat in on several interviews in the selection process, and we immediately reject candidates who are not dressed appropriately. Be preprared to answer questions about sales experience; be prepared to give a sales pitch- it is critical here to ask for the sale at the end of pitch; do not just give description of the product you are asked to sell. What we mainly look for is a personality that will fit in with the team and not be afraid to initiate sales conversations with customers.
