I worked in a bank for 6 months. I hated every second of it.
First of all I worked in the Ghetto! My bank got robbed 3 or 4 times while I was there. Each time was worse than the time before.
Second: Sales was all they cared about. Sell a damn IRA or Checking Account or CD or Mortgage! People don't come to the bank for sales. They want to deposit money, cash a check or withdrawl money.
Third: The branch I worked at was in a very diverse neighborhood. Only about 1/2 the customers spoke english. The ones who didn't were really mad that I didn't speak their language. The branch was also extreemly busy so the people that did speak English would be pissy that it took so long in line. Don't yell at me...tell the damn bank to hire more tellers!
Fourth: I've never been the kind of person who could "work for the man". You have to show up on time (which wasn't my problem). You have to take your 15 minute break EXACTLY when the manager wants you to. The Manager will come and tap you on the shoulder to take you break and it will just happen to be at the same time you have like this 20 minute transaction. Then they get all pissy at your for messing with the schedule! Bite me.
Ok I'm done and will get off my soap box now. It has been a decade since I've worked for the man. I am currently self employed and work an insane amount of hours. Fortunately, I set those hours. So I can work at 3am if I want to.
I wish you the best with the new job!!!
