I had A talk with Wells Fargo A little while back about how banks operate. The only way A bank is in business is because so many people agree to come together and share money. Which is nonsense . So, check this out why NOT bank with yourself because either way you take A risk if you choose to bank with yourself or A bank. FYI: Banks Guarantee FDIC up to $250,000. Which is nonsense. Because when A Bank experiences A great loss or go bankrupt they change the name of the bank. Wells Fargo is Wachovia. read more

UPDATE! Fast forward a couple of years later, I am pleased to announce I have officially closed all of my Wells Fargo accounts. My Stepdad passed away a few months ago (see previous review for details regarding the 1 star review) and after making sure it's legally clear, I closed our accounts at first opportunity. I also made sure I didn't do it here but from another branch. The crappy experience from that last run was enough of a deterrent. Good riddance. read more

My wife and I made an appt to work on our accounts and we were seen promptly and received excellent customer service from banker Lilia. Even her manager stopped by to offer further support. We were very happy with the result of resolving our desired changes to our 3 accounts. read more

Wells Fargo LAZ parking had me towed in 30 minutes with 20 open spaces in the lot. Really, It makes sense to move my car 20 feet for each business I was visiting. Had business on each corner of the intersection. At the hospital for blood draw, went to church's chicken for food since I was fasting. Last business was to go WF and check on CD rates and saving account since I'm going to be employee across the street. Great first impression!! car towed. Wells Fargo doesn't even know the definition of customer service. I charged the tow on the Wells Fargo Card, because I'm not a customer. LOL They have lost my business permanently!! 2015 I closed both checking and saving before it was announce they were creating unauthorized accounts. Feel sorry for the people who live in their community. Go to Citibank or Chase down the street. read more

Poor customer service Everyone is upset in the line . They have 3 bank tellers in the middle of the day on a Wednesday . This is the worst. The security guard is trying crowd control which it definitely not working . No one is listening to her . I will not be back all. The armed guard who drops off money even has to wait cuz no one is around to open the door. He's shaking his head in distress. Oh and did I mention it's the first of the month read more

This is literally THEE worst Wells Fargo I've ever visited!!!! I just scrolled down & have come to realize, leaving a review is somewhat pointless. This is similar to the Spirit airlines experience. To the executive folks at the top, you should do better! I understand that this location is in the 90247, however, customer service should matter & it definitely falls at the waist side. Your employees are extremely lack luster and it is apparent they are not happy. One teller for 10-15 people in line puts a lot of unnecessary stress on the teller as well as the people in line. Do better. read more

Wells Fargo Bank - Excelente person at the bank - Banks & Credit Unions Near Me - Gardena, California

So someone who has an account at Wells Fargo wrote a check directly to me. They wanted to make sure that it cleared before the end of the year, so I went directly to Wells Fargo to cash the check. Do you know that they charged me $7.50 because I don't have an account with Wells Fargo? That is Just foolishness! read more

raquel the manager is the absolute worst. unprofessional and rude , she isn't helpful at all this location has definitely went down the drain. read more

Horrible Merchant Services Dept. Example waiting in line for 20 minutes only to have the teller shut down for no reason and say someone else will help you in a different line!! Speaking to the manger does absolutely no good half the time they don't even respond. I honestly think it is time to look for another bank read more

I see this Wells Fargo had like 2 stars. I was reluctant to go but I knew I had to take care of some business. To my surprise I was very pleased. The line started outside the front door. I was like oh no I'm going to be here forever. The line moved pretty quickly. Finally made it to the teller and Francisco was very pleasant. He had excellent customer service. I didn't have any issues. Just because people give bad reviews doesn't mean you will because I didn't. read more

If you want good customer service, do not come to this bank. Where customer service should be priority, whose money is in their bank. Whose money is being used to make more money. DO NOT open a business account here. You have been warned. read more

I'm a world where time is money you'd think an appointment at a bank, Keeper of Money, would be handled with greater care and hold the highest priority. Apparently at this Wells Fargo branch, this is not the case. My business partner, and I both had an appointment today at 10 AM. Yesterday, Mario called me to confirm the appointment and that it was assigned to him. He informed me that he would be off but his coworker, Nancy was informed and trained to handle the reason for my visit (to open a new Businss Checking Account). at this point I was under the impression that in the system it would be assigned to her. Fast forward to this morning at approximately 8:20 AM (40 minutes prior to the bank opening), we rescheduled our appointment by one hour to 11 AM. Apparently, the notification of this went to Mario and Nancy did not become aware and presumably considered us a "no-show". Upon our arrival at our new time, 11 AM, we were informed that Nancy had another customer and that we would have to wait for her as she was the only other employees trained for Business accounts at this branch. I inquired whether the walk-in customer she was helping could be helped by another banker and was told that this is not possible due to "customer experience". While I do understand that, the fact is we had an appointment and again time is money. My business partner and I specifically set time in our schedules aside to go to accomplish this today. Furthermore, I do not live in this side of town and spent my time in LA traffic and gas to not accomplish my goal of the visit. What about our customer experience? Furthermore, the customer's issue was something that could have been addressed by another banker from our understanding. The best solutions the bank was able to come up with was to suggest we wait--initially we were told at least 45 minutes but then also told by Nancy herself 20-30 more minutes--before we could begin the hour to hour and a half long process of opening our business banking account, or attempt to locate another branch we would visit to open the account. Beyond that, they suggested we coming back later and informed us they closed at 4. Again, in a world where time is money this would not work for us. We came when it was convenient for us and set an appointment to ensure it was convenient for them. Worse case with waiting I we would have spent over 2 hours in the bank because their system was not designed to accommodate what has occurred when the "assigned banker" for our appointment is unavailable. We did attempt to contact other banking locations but either they had no availability, no one on site trained to handle opening a business account (which baffles me because this is the core of the Bank's business), or simply unavailable to/did not answer the phone. Ultimately this has been the worst banking customer experience for us and the staff did not have a working solution to handle our banking needs. Regardless of whether Nancy did not receive a notification our appointment modification, there was a staff member checking people in on an iPad. It is beyond me as to why he did not see our appointment was upcoming. As a personal account holder of numerous Wells Fargo accounts and accounts at other Banks, this is by far my worst experience. read more

This branch actually deserves a zero. These employees act as if they are giving you money. You can only meet with an account person on a appointment two weeks out. No one greets you. Attitude poor at teller window. I worked at this bank 15 years in corporate offices and it never occurred to me to treat colleagues or clients anything less than professional. It's difficult to deposit money and withdrawals. I regret I cannot take this retirement account to a better financial institution.. I do not recommend Wells Fargo for banking needed. read more

[*] zero! Rating.. I go to this branch to try to close out my safe deposit box,a staff member tells me to have a sit someone will be with you soon. So...5....10....15.....20..... mins. another bank employee comes to me and asked, "are you being helped?" I say again, waiting to close my safe deposit box...So another.....5......10...... mins. rolls on by and then a manger comes to me and says I am sorry she will not be in today due to an emergency she has. In a situation like this, in most cases it would be time to blow your top!!! But, I stayed as cool, calm and collect as a cucumber...Apparently there is only one person who can help you in the safe deposit box department. If there is ever is a poll to vote on the stupidest bank with dumbest rules and procedures, RING...RING...RING - Wells Fargo Bank wins. read more

Absolutely the worst customer service. Lines for business customers moved at a snails place. Today I've waited in line for 30 minutes now and still haven't made it inside. Line for regular business customers constantly 10-15 people deep. Seemed like employees could care less. read more

By far the the 2nd worst bank i've ever been to. The 1st being the Wells Fargo on Victoria and Avalon down the street. Everytime i come here on my 1 hr lunch break im late coming back to work. Ive never seen more than 2 tellers working and ive never seen less than 30 customers in line. But after its all said and done i finally am closing out my Wells Fargo account today. Finally got out from under these thieves and a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. read more

I would give it zero stars if I could. Worse service ever. Laziness possesses the employees here. It seems like it physically hurts them to give any answers and actually give an solutions. Who ever is in charge of this Wells Fargo should look into hiring new staff. read more

I hate to leave an ugly review because I honestly like this bank and have a great history with them. However today's transaction definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. I brought in around $200 in coins and wanted to deposit into my account. I waited in the regular line for about 5-7 minutes. When I got to a teller she stated she doesn't accept coins & to wait in the business line. So here I am holding $200 worth of coin waiting in another line.... When I get to the business teller I can tell by her attitude it's been a long day (girl it's only 11:45 get that mean mug off your face). She throws me a bag and tells me to count my coins and throw it in the bag. I did it and she watched me while looking at her phone. I had a deposit slip ready with the exact amounts listed. Wtf ?? Hahaha. Anywho once lil miss happy is done she brings her manager over to tell me they only accept $100 max in coins at a time. I asked her if this was a new rule going forward or what? Manager (who was previously arguing/yelling with another customer) says I don't know but we don't accept more than $100 of coin at a time. Cool, thanks bro !! I love Wells Fargo. I used to work for Wells myself and thought it was a great place to work. However recently the tellers have taken a turn for the worse. I don't dump all my money here to be treated with attitude every damn time. Get it together Gardena Wells Fargo. read more

By far the second worst bank I ever dealt with first one was US Bank in Ventura Boulevard and this Wells Fargo bank on 1222 Redondo Beach Blvd., Gardena, CA. I came here to cash a 10,000 1/2 check considering that this is my own bank away banquet but I live in Mission Hills as I was in the area I came here to catch check everything seem to be going well until one of their tellers had to get confirmation from manager Leonor Martinez who at the time she represented herself as a manager G say that she was not going to cash my check and if I wanted to get the full amount I will have to get it from my own account I ask her the reason she did not gave me a proper reason I asked her if it was because of my appearance or something wrong with my account you couldn't give me a real reason I ask is I let her know that I have cash checks bigger text Dentist and my hometown but because I was in the area I decided to come here and do the same considering that is my own bank and same company. Leonor said that she was not gonna cash my check if I wanted to cash my check to go to the bank or cash there an hour and I let her know that is Wells Fargo who I bank with which is the same bank I'm in right now she said she's not gonna cash it and she made me feel insulted and discriminated as she was not able to give me a real reason why she came out with lies saying that I had a check bounced which that was incorrect and wrong of her for lying when I have never gone any bounce checks in my life I asked her if she is really looking at my account I had over $30,000 in my account there was no reason for her not to cash it or anything if I can give you zero stars I word this bank branch needs to focus on teaching their own managers so for Mr. Jamall who she said it was her manager please work on your customer service manager to be more professional and not make clients or customers feel discriminated as she did made me feel I'm so disappointment of Wells Fargo not entirely Wells Fargo purchase this branch due to the unprofessionalism this manager Leonor Martinez who had the audacity to insult me in front of my face Jamall please work on your manager who is representing the face of Wells Fargo at this location. read more

They suck minus like two workers! Everyone acts busy but they're just standing around gossiping lol

It's the best! Everybody is friendly and nice to you unless they're having a bad day, but it happens to everybody. They have long lines sometimes but its only because its so popular and such good service! the same reason you see long lines at restaurants... Check it out, go in and open an account. ask about me! read more

I had an excellent experience here this morning. Everyone at the branch was courteous and professional. As I entered the building there was someone to greet me and ask if there was anything that person could do to assist in my business with them. They also handed out free mini-bottles of water to those waiting in line. The line went by really quickly, and there were no problems along the way. I would definitely return to have my banking needs here at this branch of Wells Fargo. Plus, they have two drive-thru atms at this branch. read more

Crooks true to their infamous history. Okay, banking procedure is and they know most people do not know this, if you have an endorsement guarantee from your bank for a valid open business checking account and 2 forms of positive ID. The issuing Bank of the check is to cash it upon demand. Not Wells Fargo Bank. They like to make their own rules and try to force you to buy a cashier's check for $10.00. I am reporting them to the FDIC. If you want to them to seperate you from your hard earned money, bank here. read more

Family's been banking here forever. So far so good. -1 star because there is ALWAYS a line. They have like 19 windows and steady have 8 tellers... read more

This is for the ATM/location only. It's conveniently located and near lots of shopping centers/stores. The parking lot entrance is a bit tight, but the rest plenty of parking in the lot behind the bank. I appreciate two drive-thru ATMs. When people aren't ready in one line, I can go through the other. read more

Friday is most people's payday. Why not attach more than 3 tellers. The line was pretty much to the door l. It's ridiculous

$$$$$!! Considering where I'm at? I'm here for one thing. $$$$$$ $$$$$ Getting some dinero What can I say? They have my money it's not like I can keep it in my mattress ? And the $ 15.00 monthly service charge really suck! Thanks!! read more

The customer service has definitely declined. When I wrote my original review, I was pleased with the previous workers. The new employees are useless and helpless. The individual I had to deal with was a fairly young female with light brown hair and light brown/hazel eyes. I wish I caught her name. read more

This bank is so slow. It was over 30 mins just to see a banker to sat up a PIN number. They need to be a little more organized, they need someone just for the small things like setting up your pin or getting checks etc. I left and went to Chase and opened up a account in less time then I was sitting in wells Fargo waiting just to get a pin read more

Compare to the Manhattan Beach Wells Fargo. Customer service SUCK!!!!! No warm welcome, totally ignored... Never going back there again. .. read more

Excellent workers and friendly!! Thanks well fargo!! read more

I've came into this branch 3 different time to get a debit card replacement. First time it was a hour wait, second time computers were down, third time is was a hour wait again. I have my three kids with me (6 months 6 years and 10 years) no where to sit and you want me to wait around for an hour. You guys need to do better. read more

My fiancée, who runs a business in Gardena, can't leave work all day long enough to save time to go to the bathroom to provide a satisfactory service to the customer, so I have to take the responsibility of going to the bank to save money almost every day. However, it is very unpleasant to meet the manager Jennifer and Randy at this branch in the morning. I've never seen them say hello, and when I deposit with a Debit Card, I treat them as if they were interrogating at the police station (sometimes preventing deposits rather than withdrawals), as if they were a customer (as if my sons and daughters were similar in age) The service is messed up as if I'm dealing with it, so I don't like to face such rude humans from the morning, but as a business owner, I have to go somewhere close because I have to be busy in the morning. When it comes to business with the staff, there is no problem, but there is a trick that makes you feel like a warrior who occasionally appears somewhere and goes to work to fight customers. Perhaps looking at these two reviews, I will guess that it is not my own feelings. I don't understand how they are manager with a service spirit that doesn't have basics. Or, if they have a personality problem, they better go to the doctor, and I don't know why they're giving their crooked minds to customers. They are not really professional, I'm really sorry for the time I had to write this article. I was shocked by Wells Fargo to see such a rude manager working in the service industry of the bank. This is the point I want to never go again. Until a new manager comes. read more

Visited this branch to open a joint account with my dad. My dad lives in another state and I was told by another branch manager that it was possible to do so, but that my father had to be at a branch at the same time I was at my local branch. She explained that the bankers would pretty much comunícate with each each other to get the he process started and get the proper documents signed from both of us. So I decided to head over to my local branch and as I arrived I explained to the person they had greeting people in the lobby what I was there to do. She said she didn't think that was possible and went to go ask a banker. Then she came back and said the baker informed her that, that process was up to their managers discretion and that he was at lunch and he would be an hour. I asked if they had an assistant branch manager and she said no, we only have one manager. Which I was surprised since most banks won't just have their branches unattended while their branch manager is out to lunch. I would imagine in the event of a robbery or some sort of emergency they would want someone there. I sat there and waited around and someone else came out saying they were in charge and they would have the manager call me when he was in. Well that was just a way to get me out of there I guess cause it's been hours and I have yet to hear from this person. To make it worse as my father sat at his local WF in Albuquerque, the rep helping him told him the process was possible, but lengthy and it required a lot of manual forms to be filled out. So if two other employees have said yes it's possible and both have communicated the same process to me I can only think that the employees at this particular branch didn't want to bother helping me. Maybe it was too much to ask for and customer service is not a priority so they lie or make their own policy. I currently bank with Chase and the only reason why I am bothering with WF is because there are no Chase branches in Albuquerque. Otherwise I would have pre-authorized my father on my Chase account and avoided the head ache. read more

Overly staffed bank little help. Staff is just wondering around in the lobby, merchant services has only one teller assigned "quite ridiculous". Waited almost 25 min in line, so a regular teller can help thereafter. I asked why only one merchant teller, she said there's more just in the middle of something. No need to waste time or go through such for simple business deposits. I hope branch manager or DM can make adjustments to this branch. Waste of labor. read more

Ok so I have been here several times. I hate going in. I always have to wait a while, even when they seem to be slow. I'm just glad there is a drive through and it's close to work. I was able to do a transaction through the drive through on my break. #billpaid read more

I've been coming to this bank since 2010 and have always found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. It's clean and always decorated for the holidays and there is always someone to greet you at the door and they always have water and lollipops. And if you don't feel like getting out of your car there are always the drive up ATM machines! read more
