Here's an example of where Wells Fargo employees were calling their IG or their Ethics Hotline. They got fired by Wells Fargo because they weren't pushing or Towing the line and they didn't realize it Wells Fargo also put a Securities and Exchange black mark on their careers so they couldn't work for any other bank. This is kind of like having a dishonorable discharge help prevent you from getting employment. This is from National Public Radio period is not from Mother Jones, is not from the Communist News Network. It is the truth! Wells Fargo got caught with their pants down but they had plausible deniability and they're still making money.Listen to: Workers Say Wells Fargo Unfairly Scarred Their Careers - http://one.npr.org/i/498804659:498804660

Thanks for sharing Gunny! I've heard many great things about the Wells Fargo veterans program. What tips would you give to a brand new veteran looking for work there? Curious what roles you think are the most attractive.

First off, bring a positive attitude and understand that your military service is a part of you, but not the end-all. One of the most difficult things for veterans is understanding that the civilian world is not the military.
What role you are looking for depends on your skills and background - some of the best fits for veterans are in project management, supply chain. If you are interested in finance, unless you have a finance background, then you need to be willing to start on the bottom.
The biggest thing I can stress is working in the civilian world is different - definitely performance based, and 'pulling rank' to get things done 'might' work once but it's not the way to lead - 'influence' leadership techniques work better in almost all cases, there are times for authoritarian leadership styles in certain situations but folks who rely on the authoritarian approach as their go-to leadership style are going to struggle.
