How's the leadership on the Sales team at Wells Fargo?
Sales managers are great. Typically once you get to the regional managers and above, it’s terrible. Steve Moss is one of the weakest managers I have ever been around.
Again, my leadership is great. A lot of Market Managers and branch managers are managing by a report instead of working one on one with their staff.
The Leadership is leading the Bank to a new level. But no longer the Company is focus on sales; instead the leadership is concentrated in what is most important our customers satisfaction.
What's the pay like for Sales roles at Wells Fargo?
Disgraceful since they gave the tellers s big pay rise so they earn roughly 2.5 dollars less than a banker and dont need to know 2% of what a banker does
