"In the five months I was at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, the team I worked with always had a positive attitude. Thank you. was heard often within the team, as everyone worked hard, and appreciated when help was given. Being responsible for Federal SEC information, there was little to no room for error, yet the team handled the stress well, taking team lunches, walking the paved wooded grounds. Encouragement was given for going beyond the normal task of the job."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"I did not like their lack of consistency and unwillingness to promote those who were qualified to do their jobs."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Local management does not have much power to make changes, and their empowerment has been taken from them. If one is a manager, then the decisions that manager makes they own, and there is no need for managers to run every decision up a chain of command. This is counterproductive and lacks professionalism in your part. Also, the pay structure that you have for your managers needs to be looked at and adjusted. This is why you are losing your top producers to the competition, if it is not beneficial to work for a company that does not compensate because you cap your incentives, and second, for a company that has a turnover of 85%. There is no loyalty to employees."
