I was a Wells Fargo teller when Norwest Financial took them over in the late '90s.

They immediately started cutting hours and forcing tellers to push reverse mortgages and (very high-interest) overdraft protection scams.

I actually got a small prize for my efforts (much to the annoyance of a Repug co-worker) - but I quit shortly afterward.
