Interviewed Nov 2011 in Sacramento, CA (took a day)

Honestly this was the worst interview I've ever had. I've gone through countless interviews since graduation but never had I had someone been so rude and unhelpful. I felt like I was consistently being attacked when I said something he did not agree with.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Roseville, CA (took 3 months)

Very long process for low paying job. Very poor feedback after each step. It left you questioning if you were still in the running. Finally after 3 months I had my 2nd 1:1 and was hired. Income has not been as promised in the interview and I am a to performer.

Negotiation Details

Although I tried, they were not willing to negotiate at all.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Sacramento, CA (took 4+ weeks)

1. Created my resume and made my application searchable on Wells Fargo career website. Then Submitted my application to a few branches that were hiring online.

2. I immediately received an email telling me to call a 1-800 # by 5PM the following night. I put it aside to call the next day but forgot. However, THEY called ME about a week later. Completed the phone interview:
- How long were you employed at your previous job?
- Describe a time where you provided excellent customer service?
- Have you ever received recognition and/ pr awards for a job you did?
That's it! after those three questions she asked if I would be available for a group interview on so-so day...By the way, it seems these phone interviewers are very busy and since they a not directly linked to the branch your working at, they don't seem to want to hear long stories. Keep the answers at about a minute, and straight to the point.

3. Went to group interview. As soon as we walked in, they have you fill out another application as well as consent to drug test and get a background check IF hired. Answered about 4 or 5 questions.
- Describe a time when you set sales goals and how did you reach those goals?
- What is a goal you have set for yourself as a worker?
- Briefly introduce yourself (name) and state the places you have worked starting with your first job.
- why do you want to work for wells fargo?
Did not do any role playing at my group interview, but we did watch a short video about the branch.
After the interview, I stayed behind as the last one to say goodbye to the interviewer, but asked him a few questions about the application and he said if we passed the group interview then we WOULD NOT get the email that said "Sorry, we have chosen other people who fit our needs, blah blah blah..."

5. I never got the rejection email, however I also never got a call back from any of the branches I applied to, until one day I went into the bank and when i told the teller i had applied there, he said I should call the manager. But he took my number and said he would give it to his manager... nothing after that... but after a month and a half I finally got a call to interview with a manager!! :D
Wish me luck!

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Sacramento, CA (took a day)

I went to interview a few weeks ago for the Credit Manager position in the Sacramento area. The interview consisted of basic personality questions and a variety of sales focused questions to get a read of what kind of employee you would be. I never heard back from the interview after walking away feeling like I had done quite well. The offices weren't much to brag about either. They didn't strike me as a place I'd want to come and work 8 hours a day. Looked like a small phone bank with a few closed offices to the side.
