How to get a job at Wachovia.

Corey7473 in Covington, Georgia said: I worked as a Fs for five years I have just left Wachovia to go into business myself.As an FS you will have to wear many hats doing not only investments,deposits,Loans, but also small business. Some of the things they dont tell you upfront is the worthly reports that no one reads but they make sure you fill out each week. The only problem I had with the company is the fact that you spend 80% of you time doing things that bring only 20% of your income.Cold calling. The Base pay can go from $45k-$50k depend on your background but you make more money in commission.If you are in a good location heavy traffic with nice clients you can bump your pay up to $100k easy. I would say the norm in the NC location that I was in was $70k per year as an FS.

I am trying to get a job at Wachovia as an FS. Do you know the recruiter I can contact? I got offered a Mortgage Consultant Position but turned it down to the Mortgage Market down fall. The Mortgage recruiter that was helping me has not forward my info. Thanks!

does anyone know how long the hiring process for wachovia takes and how long is there training. do you train in a classroom first and then go to your branch or do you train just at your branch.

Well...the process depends on how well you did on your interviews...and after you are cleared up from the drugs screening...they will send you to their classes, it's like a computer lab....but the second day you go and meet with your mentor in the branch that you will work at....after it's on the classroom..after you completed the training process...and pass all the exams...you go to your branch...
Hope it helps, good luck...

I just can't seem to pass the personality test... can anyone give me tips as to what they are looking for?

The personaluty test...ummm...isn't that the test you take online??...well if its..they are looking for someone that is consistent with their answers..

email me at james.mooneyiii@gmail.com if your looking for an fs position I work at wachovia and can help.

couple answers for a lot of you.
For the FS job - depending on if you attend an open house or go thru the online process to apply, you first get a pre-screen from the recruiter. They are not the decision maker for the final offer, but they screen a number of candidates for the managers to interview. This is after you have passed the personality test. Pls dont try to answer what you "think" we are looking for. It does look for qualities that would make you successful in this industry. You have to be aggressive, friendly, outgoing, not shy, willing to take some risks,and able to get along with lots of people. Also, being able to manage pressure and frustration (w/the public and coworkers). These are things that if you fake on the test will make you fall on your face in real time.After you interview w/ a panel...you may be asked to interview again. This could be because one panel hired their quota and another panel still needs people for their area. Sometimes there is a special need in an area, and someone who is bilingual may edge you out. Customer service is very impt to us and we will look for your cust svc orientation in your answers. You will almost certainly be asked at least one question that calls for a negative answer, which is difficult in an interview. Something like, tell us about a time you failed to meet a critical deadline w/a client. The interviewers are trained to know when you are making up an answer or winging it to tell us what you think we want to hear. We can tell a genuine experience from a made up one a mile away. If you omit anything on your application, you will not be hired. Like if you say you've never been terminated and you had been. Usually you hear back w/in 2 wks or less if they are actively recruiting for the next class for financial specialists. Sometimes it takes that long to go thru the candidates for an area and they want to pick the best from all the interviews. If u get sent 4 fngr/prints and drug test (pee),
its a good sign.

Tellers - Here are some tips .
We train tellers , so although we really prefer if you've had SOME cash handling experience, if you have 6 months of working w/ the public in a customer service environment, we are willing to train. That being said, how you present yourself at the interview will influence the hiring manager greatly. Dress conservatively,it's not the GAP. We look for a big smile, good eye contact and can we understand what you are saying. If you are really shy and speak very low, its not going to be a good thing. For one thing, if you work in a drive thru, you will be talking on a speaker to cars 2,3,or 4 lanes out and your voice needs to be clear and understandable. If you speak in slang or curse during the interview there is no way you will be hired. If you job hopped a lot, you probably wont get hired. We dont want to hire you only to find out you get bored easily and after we train you for pretty much 6 wks you then want to leave to do something else 3 months later. Dont have a friend bring you to the interview. It looks like you have transportation issues or that you can't do things on your own. I once had someone show up w/ their boyfriend and they made out in the waiting area until it was her time to interview. They failed before they ever even answered a question, just by showing show such poor judgement. Be specific in your examples so we can see what types of experiences you have been exposed to. Good luck to all of you ! It is a great place to work !

If you are going for a Financial Specialist position, it is a big plus if you are already licensed. If not, and you have been hired for your sales experience, you will start the first phase of your training getting licensed. There is plenty of time allocated to this, but you MUST pass the licensing tests...you get 2 tries or you cannot stay in the position. THis is told to you up front...not a surprise. The test for the Series 6/63 is very hard, and you must study on pace to do well. You will still get a crash course and several practice tests before you go for the real one. We have very good success in our people passing the tests, unless you dont study and think that you are just a great test taker. You will go to a special test site that administers the tests for the SEC...these are not Wachovia tests, they are exams that come out of a test bank so you and the person next to you will get different questions. The U-4 info is very detailed for this application but it is the requirement of the SEC, not the bank. Dont omit any job or gap in employment. You must be bonded to sell securities and you cant have anything like a DUI or any arrest issues in your past. The FS job is challenging but the earnings potential is vastly unlimited. 100K is very achievable if you are successful and self disciplined in the way you use your time.

So I've passed the assesment, the phone interview, and went on the interview with an hiring manager. When I was through I she told me that I should hear from them in two weeksbe cause they had to do background checks but she didn't take any fingure prints or anything. So two weeks is almost have gone by. Does this mean I didn't get the position?

I am teeling you... I interviewed last week and haven't heard anything either. Where in NC are you at? Maybe we even interviewed with the same managers! lol

haha...Greensboro. What did they tell you before you left?

They said they would come to a decision this week. They did not mention anything about background checks BEFORE a decision was made.

I have a solution, apply somewhere else. My company was merged with them and they are on a laying off spree and I am one of the casualties after 6 years of employment. They never even looked into my background where I had all kinds of banking experience and production over the past 10 years as a branch manager, loan originator etc. The fs position has a 43% turnover ratio. They fire people at the drop of the hat if they don't make their quota, it is a business we understand, but they are downright nasty and cruel.

i have recently interviewed at wachovia for a collections position. i have no criminal background and i am taking the drug test today. i just owned a business that was unsuccessful. this is going to make me file for personal bankruptcy. is this going to effect my chances at wachovia?

I am applying for the financial specialist position. I have been arrested in the past for Driving with a suspended license (misdemeanor), I was fined and had to show proof of valid driver's license. Is this going to affect my eligibility for employment?

Hi,

I want to apply for teller position in bank. I dont have any experience in banking. I have worked in software industry for the past 4 years.
Please, tell me if i have to take any certified exams for having a better chance for a teller job.

Thanks,
Anu.

Hello I know someone that is very close to me and is looking for a job. They have an account with wachovia and would like to get hired with you guess. can you help.

Hi

Hi,

No past banking experience, took online test today for teller position, passed it, and am excited and hoping I get called for an interview.

I was a Realtor for the past 4 years, prior to that I was a stay at home parent for 5 years, and prior to that alot of other jobs...

I'm currently completing my Bachelor's degree and should be done by summer. I want to break into the banking industry...no pun intended...LOL. Really, though, I hope they don't think I'm too old to get started as a teller...I'm a very young 48...but, I don't think I'm over-qualified at all, and know that I would love starting as a teller, and working my way up.

Do I stand a chance? Will they believe in me, or just write me off? Help! I really want to get into this position. It sounds like a great company, and I don't need to make a lot of money for the next few years, just be on a career path.

What type of answers are they looking for in the behavioral interview? I understand that they should be real life experiences you talk about, but my question is what should the length and detail of the answer be?

Any help on preparing for this would be helpful.

I am thinking of taking a FS role. I have already interviewed and they said that I passed the assessment and they want to make me an offer. I am considering taking the job. SHould I be worried about getting fired, if I take the position, at the drop of a hat. Many other posters have said this is common practice at Wachovia?

Hi,
I am series 6 licensed, and i also have a life and variable annuity license. I see that you are in ft lauderdale. I am in west palm beach.
I have about 7 years experience in finance/sales. I just applied on the wachovia website 2 days ago. Do you know if they are hiring at this time? Is there anything you could do to help get me a job. I am looking for the fs position. I am 28 years old, highly energetic, and bright. I am very interested in this position, and anything you could do to help me out, would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jeff

I like the above selection. I have been an FS for 3 years and am just now taking the 6&63. I have had a total of 3 days within the office to study in 6 weeks. I was told by HR that they had to pay me if I studied at home as part of work. That has never been mentioned to me.. I guess I have studied about a total of 80 hours on my own. I don't think anyone could just pass it with studying 3 days. Impossible. Anyway, this company is not a good company to work for if you treasure the sweeter things in life, like for starters " a life", your family or value "sleep" to any degree. You will have a lot of sleepless nights worried about goals and getting fired for not meeting them. Call nights, cold calls and the like. THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT COMING TO THIS COMPANY, THINK TWICE AND REALIZE THAT THIS WILL BE ONE OF THE MOST, I EMPHASIZE, MOST, STRESSFUL JOBS ON THE PLANET.

I can see how it can be lucrative but their are way too many variable to play into the "money making". My avg bonus is 200-300 per month and 40% of that is taxed. You don't get a Christmas bonus and if you were to take your salary and divide it by the number of hours you put in you would see that you are making probably the same or less than you did at your previous job.. So weigh it very carefully.

Useless conference calls and what my fellow employee calls "wus" calls (why you ****) calls, every Friday. Tons of forms to fill out everyday and all without any overtime so half the time you just clock out and keep working or work at home so you don't get in trouble. It's just a system that is designed that way.

I do love what I do. I absolutely do, just not who I am doing it for. It's a very confining micromanaging environment as an FS. I actually heard and FSL talk to an employee like he was a child on more than one occasion.

So if you enjoy that type of environment than this job is for you,
but as for me, hasta la vista Wachovia.

I worked for Wachovia for at least 3 years. The company treats employees poorly, the hours are long, the environment is very bureaucratic and at many times unprofessional. The managers promise inflated incomes, life work balance does not exist. Pay is very mediocre, micromanaging is intense, Wachovia does not even do a christmas party. Diversity is a joke. Avoid working for this company at all costs, specifically the Financial Specialist, Service Banker, and Financial Center Manager positions.

Yes taking the exams is hard, I passed all licensing exams on the first try. The downside is that you will spend a lot of time studying and wachovia does not pay you for that time. Also, the comment about unlimited income potential is false. Making money at Wachovia is very hard, they have a point system....you will not make more than 55k or 60k your first years, maybe 75k your second year. By the time you've been there enough to have a clientele, the payplan will have been switched around so much that you wont ever get close to six figure income. I worked as an FS for 3 years, this company micromanages to an extreme, they work you to the end. Work life balance does not exist. The managers treat you like dirt and turnover is ridiculous. I stoped caring about memorizing my co-workers names, they changed so frequently. Do your self a favor and don't work for Wachovia...

Does anyone have any insight into the "branch administrative associate" position? I recently worked in the WDA-call center environment,however, got out because I got got tired and irritated with the call center. Funny enough, I would like to return to Wachovia, but in a different position.

Here is the deal with Wachovia. They do not pay Branch managers like other banks, and honestly the position it brutal. It is a glorified secretary. Hour after hour leaders ask you to roll up information that they is reported the next morning anyway, all reports are incorrect and they cant seem to waite fot the system.
Service is either real good or real bad. You basically need perfect 7s (scale of 1-7) to hit your incentive and it is not even that much. It is not worth it.

The Financial Specialist role is the best as incentives are what you make them to be. If you are a good relationshpip mgr, and good selling you can do real well, again it is a 3-5 yr job and if your looking for promotion, it is highly political and would be a relocation at best. FS role is STRESSFUL.

thats branch level,

A typical FS or Financial Specialist makes 40k-45k base. I have known quite a few that make well into the 75k range and a couple to hit over 140k. DO NOT LET THIS FOOL YOU. In my 5+ years with the company, I have watched many FS's, not last more than 18 months due to the pressure of not performing or working in a smaller volume branch, thus not hitting their goals. Training periods for an FS, usually last 12 months in this position if you are to be licensed. Teller Manager usually start out 27k-31k.

One more bit of information I would like to share. I have an African-American friend working there now as a teller with 5+ years with Wachovia. When he was hired as a teller, he came in with his B.S., Business Administration degree. I found this rather odd since he has a degree and the teller position is an entry level job with G.E.D. requirements. Within his 5+ years at Wachovia, he had gone back to college to receive his M.B.A. After completing the program in 2 years with a GPA greater than 3.5, he is still in the same position. He has posted for several (20+) other positions within Wachovia and only receives interviews for maybe 10%. One of the positions he applied for was an administrative assistant that he defiantly qualified for. In his current job, his scorecards are always above average and interviews very well. I know that this is very frustrating for him, but I have witnessed Wachovia hire kids straight from college with no experience and just their degree to show for Financial Center Associates (55K), Financial Specialists (40K), Investment Bankers (60K), Capital Markets Analysts (55k), and several others. Wachovia heavily promotes diversity but I think this is just a travesty.

Host said: Do you work at Wachovia? How did you find the job? How did you get that first interview?

Any advice for someone trying to get in?

Yes, run and don't try to get in. If you value your health, sanity and home life you will seek employment elsewhere.

Lol

I did an online assessment and i have an interview in the next several days do i have to do a next assessment at the 3hr interview

I just was interviewed for a teller position in Media,PA. I was interviewed by 2 managers. I was pretty nervous, but i think i did pretty good. At the interview that ask the typical questions as in any interview that I've had.

After the interview they walked me out and met with my mother. They told her that i did very good. I was hoping in the interview session that they will tell me if i was hired or what was the next steps in the process.

Does anyone know if this is good news or bad news? Or should i just wait till Friday or Monday morning to contact them regarding my status?

I am an experienced banker;who just relocated to the united States of America.It has not been easy getting a banking job here.

I will appreciate any assistance that any body could render to me in this regards.

Thank you

fs start out at 48500 plus commission. and base is negotiable but higher pay equal less commission

N/A in Conyers, Georgia said: No the fired me after 3 mths. Getting the job was simple I applied on line and less than a mth hr called me I first meet with hr and watched a video took a personality test it was pass or fail they tell you b4 you leave if they don't then you failed I know some one who did not pass and they told them we will let you know your results.... that was their way of letting them on. any way after that they send you a u4 this is a 15 page application that ask for your life of every job for the past 10 years and res. for the past 5 year do not skip a beat this will just hold you up..... then you go on a panel interview with 2 to 3 managers they then called me back that next week and I work for 3 mths as a FS in training. not real exciting.....Good Luck......

do you get commission during training ie do you have thresholds or is it just training

tony in Birmingham, Alabama said: I'm currently going through the hiring process. I've taken drug test and been finger printed. Also have given my recruiter my ss# for further background checking. But does have bad credit bar a person from being hired?

guess what you got the job no one waste money on drug test or all that unless you got it. only way you won't get it is if they detect e or crack in your pee... hehe

StayPositive in Fort Lauderdale, Florida said: If you are going for a Financial Specialist position, it is a big plus if you are already licensed. If not, and you have been hired for your sales experience, you will start the first phase of your training getting licensed. There is plenty of time allocated to this, but you MUST pass the licensing tests...you get 2 tries or you cannot stay in the position. THis is told to you up front...not a surprise. The test for the Series 6/63 is very hard, and you must study on pace to do well. You will still get a crash course and several practice tests before you go for the real one. We have very good success in our people passing the tests, unless you dont study and think that you are just a great test taker. You will go to a special test site that administers the tests for the SEC...these are not Wachovia tests, they are exams that come out of a test bank so you and the person next to you will get different questions. The U-4 info is very detailed for this application but it is the requirement of the SEC, not the bank. Dont omit any job or gap in employment. You must be bonded to sell securities and you cant have anything like a DUI or any arrest issues in your past. The FS job is challenging
