I bank with Wells Fargo because they bought Wachovia. When the change first occurred it was a challenge going to the bank and being hit with sales pitches by untrained sales people at the branches. It was clear these folks were told just to "sell" without proper training. This was easily recognizable since my career was in sales management. These tactics have come back to cost them as it should have.

That is exactly why i dropped them a few years back. I could not go in their without serveral people trying to sell me something i didnt need, like an extra savings account or whatever. Ruined the whole experiance, so i dropped them.
