Bank Tellers

[bucutie02]

Hey everyone--

Just wondering if any of you have been tellers before. I am just wondering what is involved and if you enjoyed it. I am majoring in Finance, and graduating this year. I have worked for a montessori school the last 5 years. I work in the office, but really have no experience in banking at all.

Since I will be graduating in December, I would like to get a job in my field. I figured going into banking would be a good idea. I dont mind starting at the bottom, which is something we all do anyway and I dont have any experience to request anything else.

I have been on two interviews for the same bank, but different locations. One position I did not get, and the other I am still waiting on. During the interview they talked a lot about sales. I've worked at Bath and Body works for only a few months, so that is not on my resume, but that is something I don't feel I am very good at. I do not like bugging people, and feel like I don't have a good technique for selling. This was the reason I left bath and body works, I dont like retail. So, another question I am wondering about is, how much of being a teller has to do with sales.

I really do not like where I am at right now because they basically treat each employee like crap, they offer no benefits, and even full time employees do not get raises. This is definitely not somewhere I want to be. Hopefully the teller position works out for me, but I also would like to get some information about it from people who have been tellers before.

Thanks!
