Job Responsibilities
Bank Teller position but it also includes customer service , and
sales
|
Job Requirements
Some college is prefered.
|
Uppers
Great hours and holidays off. Easy job. You meet a a lot of well educated and
well connected people. I found out later that they will actually pay for college
classes while you work there.

Downers
Being low man on the totem pole means that your quarterly bonuses
are practically non-existant and low scores for the banks
performance are blamed on you. You do not get paid much at all,
$10.00 - $12.00 an hour. Plus, customers are not always very
nice to bank tellers
|
Lifestyle
Work hours are great, basically 8-4:30 or 10-6:30. Chase retail offers
quarterly recognition events which are usually pretty nice. They also have a
nice Winter Holdiay party. Dress code when I worked there was business or
business casual, but it probably depends on the branch and location you work at.
I worked downtown. Chase employees are very very diverse: all different
backgrounds,races, gender etc.

Compensation
Tellers are paid by the hour. Usually starting around $10.00 an
hour with a yearly raise of about 2.5%, which comes out to $10.25
an hour. They say that there is a quarterly or annual bonus if
the branch reaches it's sales and customer service goals, and the
tellers can get the bonus too if they reach their referral goal.
But I rarely knew any teller who actually received such a bonus.

Advice to Jobseekers
Use the job as a way to pay the bills while you are looking for
something else, like studying for the LSAT. They offer health
benefits, stock options and 401Ks. If you are good at sales and
interested in moving to a retail Banking position this might be a
way in. But, on the otherhand, it may just end up being a rut
you get stuck in.
