Interviewed Jan 2012 in West Covina, CA (took 2 weeks)
The group interview was held in a board room with about 20 applicants total. After a video was shown, then each of us stood & gave our name, told about our current/last job, and answered the following questions:
Why are you interested in the Teller position? Why are you interested in working for Wells Fargo? What is your career goal for 3 to 5 years from now? What cities do you prefer to work in? What number of hours do you want to work? The recruiter was very nice and made us feel comfortable. I think the best way to answer these questions are with knowledge learned after reading their website about their Vision and Values and what they expect from their Tellers. It is also important to speak up, make eye contact & smile. Talk to the group as though you were talking to a room full of friends, choose the right words and give thought to what you are going to say, don't ramble on.
Then we were given 3 questions to answer, and we were to volunteer to answer them, but we all had to answer. So the recruiter wants to hear a situation, the task to be performed, the actions you took, and the result. Be specific and speak as well as you can. Speak with confidence. Everyone else is nervous too.
1. Describe a time when you went above and beyond in providing service to a customer.
2. Tell about a sales accomplishment you have done--describe it and tell what obstacle or challenge you faced & overcame in accomplishing it.
3. Describe a goal that you personally (not work-related or that a manager set for you) set for yourself and the 2 or 3 things you did to achieve that goal.
I thought the interview was easy because I learned from Glassdoor and prepared in advance. I was ready to answer just about any question asked. My advice is to be short and to the point, the more you just ramble on the more chance of saying something you shouldn't. Choose words/phrases like: 'upsell', 'cross-sell', how you met sales quota, persuaded, worked hard at, etc. Don't say anything you haven't thought out in advance. Don't tell big, unbelievable stories either because the recruiter is trained to see right through that. Be yourself, let your personality shine through, and try to stay as calm as possible and you'll be fine. Good luck!

Interviewed May 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
I was internal and knew I was being critiqued to determine whether I was an ideal fit. I spent roughly an hour being interviewed in Los Angeles by Various Managers and Brokerage Coaches. They asked me about how I obtained my business and I explained. That's what took an hour.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in West Covina, CA (took 2 weeks)
Applied online, and within 2 days, received an email to call an 800 number for screening. I actually did not call for a week and they called me instead. Was asked basic sales questions such as, give me an example of a difficult situation that you were involve and how did you solve it, when did you provide excellent customer service. After the questions, the person on the phone said hold on while I take down some notes. When she got back, she asked if I could come into an interview a week later. I received an email and said that it was going to be a group interview. I am going to have my group interview tomorrow.

Interviewed May 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took 4+ weeks)
I was a former employee when I applied, I had quit and joined the military. After the phone interview I attended a group interview about a week later. About a week after the group interview I was contacted by the branch manager to attend an 1:1 interview with the service manager. I did really well, however, I didn't get a call back. I later found out I had passed the interview they just "forgot" to contact me. 2 weeks after that interview the recruiter had apologized and sent my resume to another branch. At that point I was just over wells fargo but about 7pm that night the service manager from the branch had contacted me and wanted to know if I would be able to attend an interview the next morning at 10:00am. I arrived 10 mins before the interview, and for some reason they for got they had a meeting the same time as my interview and I wasnt seen until 10:45am. The interview was pretty much cake, he pretty much told me I got the job because Im over qualified and I was a former employee.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Irvine, CA (took a day)
For the phone interview: basic interview questions about work history and availability. A few days later, I got an email to come for a group interview, there were 12 applicants in the group interview and 1 interviewer and it was scenario type interview questions. You should have in mind various customer service scenarios from your past. The point is it has to be sales related and focus on your desire for competition. Their start hourly wage is $10. It was a really long interview, so make sure you do not look tired. I guess you should not wait too long to answer the questions. They give you a couple of minutes to think and write down your thoughts, but just be ready ahead and try to be one of the first people who answer.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Seal Beach, CA (took 2 months)
I applied for the position through the career website at my college. It was a 1:1 interview with the senior advisor. They make you go in about 5-6 times before they make a decision of whether they want to hire you or not. It is a very long process. They will continue to tell you they haven't decided week after weeks if you try to call or email them just to touch base with them about the interview.
