How do performance ratings affect internal mobility?
Been at WF for almost 1.5 years and want to switch groups. Problem is, my first year end PR was an IM. Although if any hiring manager read it, they would see the review commentary doesn’t match the rating. Anyways, how does this affect internal... — read more

Has anyone had experience with using COBRA when severance ends? From what I read, there is a gap between the last official date and getting COBRA information, and you get retroactive coverage once you pay your premium. Please let me know your... — read more

Seriously one very top level executive is into triathlons. That is heavy commitment. I know since am in that space. It is virtually impossible unless you are almost full-time. This is a shame that CEO is ignoring this.

You can’t be a working mom at Wells Fargo
Wells Fargo has made it clear moms have no place working here. Which is fine - we’ll just find jobs that allow us to be the primary parent and pick our kids up before dark. I can’t wait to get out.
