Pros
You get experience to move to something much better
Cons
Sales heavy. You HAVE to sell auto loans, credit cards, personal loans, accounts, and have people use their debit card in order to get an incentive check. We have to walk around a walmart or ranch market bothering people to open up accounts. Some tellers will not take no for an answer, making customers forced to bank with us. Working every weekend. Unless you have a manager who cares that you have a life, You may get a weekend off in a month. They will not grant the time off you are asking unless you have reached your sales goal for the month. Too many meetings. Coming in at 7 a.m or leaving until 9 a.m. You are rushed to open accounts when we have long lines because we have to do transactions also. We do not explain all the things in the account and that is how people get NSF fees and overdraft fees. Customers try to get it refunded but the bank does not care about their customers. We can not refund those fees and we take the heat for it. Bank does not care about their employees or customers. Minimal pay for heavy work. After 2 years i only get paid $12. To be a teller AND a personal banker.
