I would generally not recommend this position to new accounting graduates - Audit Associate Wells Fargo Employee Review

I spent ten months with Wells Fargo. I spent six months doing work that was completely unrelated to my auditing job with the RCC team. I understood that this was due to COVID-19 and dealt with it. When I finally made it to my audit team I received very little guidance on what my job was, how to do it, and when tasks were due. Things were continuing to get worse as time went on and I felt that these factors were making doing the audit with a reasonable standard of competency impossible. I was told that other audit associates had different experiences on their teams but this was also told to me by the recruiter during what was effectively an exit interview. Training is very inconsistent in quality and depends largely on which audit team you are assigned. The work itself is fairly easy but it requires accessing multiple systems of record and these are not intuitive systems that you'll be able to find by guesswork. You'll need training on how to do all of this as well and that was largely the problem I ran into with my team. I felt like my degree in accounting and previous work experience in accounting were largely useless here. Ultimately I left because I felt that my lack of knowledge was negatively affecting my performance on the job and also my teams performance as they relied on my to do audit work and other work.
