Wells Fargo, a nationwide bank, has declared they will continue adding finance jobs in Atlanta after a recent hiring spree.

The bank, which acquired Wachovia Corp. over a year ago, said they plan to continue expanding in the metro Atlanta area. The merger gave them 199 branches in Atlanta alone.

Wells Fargo recently hired 300 people around branches in Georgia and 200 people in the metro area alone.

Jobs they are hiring for include tellers, branch managers, financial specialists, and loan officers. They bank is focused on growing and improving their customer service and offerings.

Expect to see salaries ranging from $20 an hour to six figures, sources say.

If you’re wondering why you’re still seeing the Wachovia name on banks, look no further for an explanation. Wells Fargo told the Atlanta Constitution that they plan on wiping off the name ane replacing it with their own in October.

They plan on adding even more positions in Atlanta soon.

Wachovia employees typically are generalists in their field, but Wells Fargo wants their employees to have more specialized functions, hence the variety of opportunities.

Apparently one in every three homes in Atlanta, someone was a Wachovia customer, and Wells Fargo plans on embracing their new client base.
