Wachovia
Employment micro managing, harassment by constantly threatening your job, telemarketers Nationwide

I have worked for Wachovia for 2.5 yrs. As a Financial Specialist. I was told something completely different when I was hired. This year we were told that if we didn't get enough loans in either commercial, small business or personal and also meet deposit goals for 3 mths in a row you would be written up. Not because you weren't trying but because you didn't get the loan. I think this sets employees up to be cut-throat and borderline dishonest with customers just so they can keep their job. They can stop all commission once you've been written up for not making goal. The goals are astronomical and very hard to obtain. They berate you every week on conference calls with your peers if you have not met goal and it is like working in a prision cell. You are not allowed to hardly take a break. We have to constantly fill out reports and cold-call customers and non-customers alike to "beg" for loans and deposits. I feel dirty everytime I come home from working here and literally jump in the bathtub as soon as I walk in the door. The stress of losing your job is almost unbearable and I've heard of employees who don't know what to do and have said they have felt "suicidal" due to the pressure. I know other jobs are out there, but with Wachovia you stay late and have these crazy call nights where you cold call customers about products they don't need, so having time to look for other jobs is almost impossible. (Yes you do work some saturdays too)
I love what I do, I just don't like working under the micromanaged berating environment that Wachovia provides.
