Melanie Pellegrino - BEWARE OF THIS MANAGER! She is Corrupt, Incompetent And VERY Abusive to Staff. Caused Loss of a Major Client's Contract and Several Lawsuits against the Company! Carrollton, Texas
Had the misfortune of working for Manager Melanie Pellegrino at Wingspan Portfolio Advisors located in Carrollton, TX. I saw this woman verbally abuse several associates causing these good employees to quit on the spot. I witnessed Ms. Pellegrino force employees to lie to Bank of America customers when she didn't know the answer to various questions, she would routinely make off color, unethical and disparaging remarks about blacks and immigrants and was woefully incompetent at her job to the point the owner of the firm, Steve Horne, had various positions "created" just for her so she could keep her job as she was a personal favorite of his.
Ms. Pellegrino through her actions with two other terribly inexperienced managers caused the loss of a major client's contract which caused Wingspan Portfolio Advisors to have to lay off over 459 people. Although the company has claimed most of the laid off were reassigned elsewhere in the company this is not the case. Due to the actions of primarily Melanie Pellegrino Wingspan Portfolio Advisors has had to fend off several lawsuit attempts and is currently now under a lawsuit for racial discrimination.
Be careful if you work under this manager as she is hazardous by virtue of her petty, vindictive nature, mean spiritness and incompetence to your health and mental well being. She has destroyed people. If you are looking to hire her, you should know her "credentials" on her Linkedin page are greatly exaggerated to the point of outright lies and she has been coddled at Wingspan Portfolio Advisors and has had a tumultous tenure with very little "achievements" to show for it.

Melanie Pellegrino has been Fired from Wingspan
Portfolio Advisers.
She has taken down her LinkedIn profile.
Seems Mr. Steve Horne was tired of the numerous complaints he had recieved about Melanie. She was responsible for a loss in business and a major contract.

Wingspan Portfolio Advisors hurt many people. Their management was corrupt, abusive and unethical. Wingspan was an all around crook. They MILKED their vendors for thousands of hours of overtime fraudulently. We sat on the clock until late in the night doing nothing but just sitting there. Justin Belter and Melanie Pellegrino were not just verbally abusive they also had a penchant for using racial slurs. Melanie Pellegrino, along with Justin Belter single handedly caused two different Wingspan Portfolio Advisors Lawsuits and multiple EEOC claims. Not only did Wingspan Portfolio Advisors milk their vendors for every dime they could they forced their employees to LIE to mortgage holders about loan mods, foreclosures, etc. We were actually being told by Melanie Pellegrino, Justin Belter and others to tell Bank of America mortgage holders they did not have to pay mortgage payments while awaiting a loan modification. People, American military, the Elderly, Widows lost their homes over this. These people were EVIL. Now they are paying SEO management companies to push down their dirty deeds and hide them from google with a lot of fake news publications that are routinely put out by SEO management companies.

I've heard about this company and the manager Melanie Pellegrino in particular. The conclusion from those I have met from Wingspan is that she was extremely disliked. They said she was very abusive to staff and even maintenance. Very disrespectful and s****.>

I've heard about this company and its management. They are gaining quite the negative reputation in Dallas. So I'm not surprised when I come across these reports. Best to avoid companies like this.

Wingspan Portfolio Advisors really should win the award for terrible management. Steve Horne, for all of his business savvy, really picks piss poor managers. They don't want the truth to be known. Have you noticed how when you created your report Melanie Pellegrino has been really busy creating false profiles of herself online?
There are about a million Melanie Pellegrino's now in Texas alone. This is all because she has been busy trying to throw the public off to this report. No one is fooled. Half of those profiles she created with photos of different women of course are all fake.
What a desperate woman.
Instead of being content Steve Horne took her from making $9.00 an hour to making a decent salary where she could finally get out of the second hand clothing that looked to be purchased from garage sales, and busted up heels that looked like she was given from a charity, she decided to become arrogant and start abusing the employees. Shame. Some people aren't use to anything, especially power.
Thank God she was reassigned to another do nothing job within the company.
