I feel very safe going to this bank and the people working here are very professional.

Well I am glad that this location is open on a Sunday, it is extremely disappointing that the…read moreservice here is horrible! I waited in a line of probably 10 people which seems to be normal at this location on a Sunday. The line wasn't the issue but the issue was the inconsiderate and lack of professionalism from the employees here. We stood in line and watched as the employees brought clients from their desks to the front of the line. Why should other clients be prioritized over clients waiting in line? How is that fair or correct? Regardless of the time they waited to be seen by an employee at their desk, the line exists and should be followed! And Wells Fargo should create some order for their employees to follow. If the client has other needs that require a teller they should be able to be helped at the desk. It's common sense! And the people waiting in line for 20min to see a teller should not have someone go before them!! Trisha the "Assistant Branch Manager" was extremely ill equipped to not only explain to me why it was right but she didn't have any solutions. I'm extremely disappointed at how this branch is run but in general this company is extremely disorganized and unprofessional!

In the end, he was unable to cash our checks. Later, we came back and another employee helped us -- he cashed our checks in just 2 minutes.

I don't remember his name exactly, but I believe it is Paul.

It's tucked in the small corner within the plaza in between baskin Robbin's and a supermarket. The second I walked in, I was immediately greeted my various staff members. I appreciate this location because when I looked up on the wall, they showed their inclusivity by posting facts regarding pride. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. I will definitely come back again.

I was greeted by multiple staff members, and Matthew was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Not only did he explain everything about my accounts but also taught me how to take advantage of all that they have to offer. What makes visiting even better? Parking was super easy in the Pavilions lot, and there are many small shops around the block to browse. If you never need to wait, their interior is very spacious and open; you'll never feel claustrophobic! A+ will be back!

I purchased a new vehicle on Monday night. I had been working with the Pentagon Federal Credit…read moreUnion and their buying service through TrueCar. I followed all the instructions but somehow TrueCar was unable to verify that I used their services through the Pentagon buying service. The loan was approved at 75 basis point higher. I searched for other lenders with competitive rates and found Logix. I completed an application about one in the morning. My loan was approved immediately. The next morning I called their office and spoke to Robert Rincon. He verified my identification and he asked me a series of questions and requested some documents. He said he would take about an hour to process the application. He called me back later in the morning and said I could pick up the check in Pasadena in the afternoon. I stopped by the next afternoon to pick up the check. The branch doesn't have a parking lot. There is one hour meter parking on Lake. Every spot on the street was taken. I noticed on the other side of the street about a half a block away there were a few fifteen minutes parking spots. I selected a spot and walked to the branch. I was in and out in less than five minute. The branch is open full days during the week and a half a day on Saturday.

UPDATE: Logix emailed me today to say the dispute has finally been closed in my favor…read more It only took nine months, multiple calls to customer service, two trips to my branch to complain, repeated explanations of the same obvious $100 overcharge, and eventually a public review. So yes, Logix ultimately agreed that the charge was wrong. That does not change how poorly the dispute was handled or how much time and effort it took to get a basic problem resolved. By the time they finally fixed it, I had already closed my accounts and moved my banking elsewhere.

They have a few street spots you can pull into if you're only going to be there a few minutes which is very convenient. They have ATMs outside so you don't even need to step into the bank which I like. They usually work well but I have encountered several times having issues with them not dispensing cash or the machine just not working well, sometimes one is out of order. Generally though, it works well for me to get some cash moneys. Though I usually just use the ATM, I did pop into the bank this week to check out the interior. After going for so long, why not!? All was well there, too, with friendly staff!

RUDE & UNPROFESSIONAL TREATMENT!!…read more Specifically, upon requesting parking ticket validation, Naira Nerkararian immediately began yelling out, "Go over there (pointing to teller line) and finish your transaction first, and then we'll validate it. We are not a parking structure!" However, we were already done with our transaction. We are clearly educated enough (MD/MBA) to know the difference between a bank building and a parking structure (no lecture needed). If Ms. Nerkararian's life isn't going well or if she needs additional training on how to treat valued long time clients, it's not our personal fault, and she shouldn't take it out us. Naira Nerkararian provides horrible customer service. Naira Nerkararian is a very rude and unprofessional individual. TAKE YOUR VALUED BUSINESS ELSEWHERE!!

And wait times are minimal, depending on the day and time of course. My biggest complaint (thus the 3 stars) is that it can take what feels like forever to access your safe deposit box. First you have to wait around until an employee comes out and asks what you need. Then you have to wait again until someone can assist you. Then you wait yet again while they take your ID to confirm you have a box. And then you'll probably get a pitch to upgrade your credit card or refinance your home before they FINALLY escort you to your box. What should literally take 5 minutes can take as long as 30 minutes, so be prepared to wait.

After waiting 45 minutes, the banking specialist still had not arrived. During that time, the staff repeatedly told us he was "just two minutes away," but he never appeared. I am a business, professional myself, and practiced the highest level of communication with my clients. If for any reason I was running behind, I would most definitely reschedule or give options not leave someone waiting. When Omar Ching finally arrived, he was dismissive, offered no apology for keeping us waiting, and simply stated that he had another client appointment. Rather than addressing our banking needs professionally, he immediately began trying to sell us Merrill investment products. The entire experience was disappointing. The lack of communication, poor customer service, and unprofessional attitude did not inspire confidence. Based on our experience, we would not trust this branch--or Omar Ching--with our savings or financial planning. We will be taking our business elsewhere.
