The recent exterior update to the local branches feels like a downgrade. The original red brick was simple and traditional. The new grey repaint makes the buildings look washed out and sterile rather than modern. It is disappointing. Lifeless. Just... — read more 

Are people leaving on their own or being forced out? For such an important function it doesn't seem very stable.

Sounds like a scam. Why hasn't WF complained?

Its interesting, I walk into local branches and am greeted by smiling, seemingly happy bankers who just want to know how they can help me. How could Jon Q Public ever know that behind these smiles lies a corrupt, devious, and completely immoral... — read more

Note to recruiting staff: Start your batch process at a reasonable US hour. Getting a rejection email at 3am is a horrible candidate experience.

How does that work logically?
