First, thank you for your three plus years at Commerce. We appreciate all the hard work you put in with us during that time. We’re glad you were pleased with the total compensation package but disappointed that the rest of your experience wasn’t what you were looking for. In the past few years we have made some adjustments to our retail branches and transformed the Teller role into a Personal Banker position. Personal Bankers not only perform transactions but also assist customers with their other financial challenges. This does involve some sales and production goals, and this kind of role isn’t a fit for everyone. We offered training and support to make the transition seamless for staff and managers and we’re sorry to hear that wasn’t your experience. We’d like to hear more, please message us at jobs@commercebank.com.
