Pros
-The Name -Benefits -I met some great people through complaining about the position
Cons
-Extremely micro-managed in every aspect (managers are like hawks) -Lines and scripts make you feel less and less human every day -You are required to grab people before they make it to the teller line -You have an ugly uniform -Management is fueled by sales numbers and they make you feel as if you are a number -You have no voice when it comes to your opinions. You on the the bottom of the totem pole. Management will hear your ideas/struggles but they do not listen, understand, or take action. -You have to be drinking "the kool-aid" to be sort of successful. You have to drink what they serve you and put a happy face on at all times. Overall, if you are considering this position, only take it if you can work like a robot (without a brain.) You have to leave your personality and emotions at the door because no one likes them in the branch. By the end of my time there, I felt like I had lost myself because I was no longer using my brain; it felt like the movie Groundhog Day. Same people, same scenarios, same lines, and same clothes every single day. I am a recent college grad, and this was my first "real" job outside of school. If there is anybody else in this position, do not get sucked into this role. You do not apply or use anything you had worked for in college. Pursue other jobs and goals. P.S. If a banker approaches you in the lobby of the bank, do not sit down with him/her! They will try to sell you ridiculous things. Only sit down with them if you have a question or inquiry.
