Job Responsibilities
My main responsibility is to help customers with transactions
such as deposits, withdrawals, and loan payments. I am also
expeted to let customers know when there are other financial
services that might benefit them better and refer them to
someone who could help. I also do quite a bit of side jobs, by
my chouce, such as filing, making calls to customers, and
posting our branch's numbers.

Job Requirements
It was not necessary for me to take any college courses.

Uppers
I definately love the bankers hours! I work in alternating weeks, one will be
Monday through Friday, then the next will be one week day off with a 4.5 hour day
on Saturday.
I get some great discounts through my wireless company like 45% off of
accessories and 15% off of my monthly bill.
I have great benefits through Group Health and Delta Dental (who were my choices
before I worked for Washington Mutual).

Downers
The only downer I can think of is that when you hire on as a
teller you are required to stay at the branch that hires you for
one year...you can't leave within the company. So I am pretty
bored with my job right now and ready to move on, but I can't
for 5 more months.

Lifestyle
Like I said, the hours are great! I always get at least half of Saturday and
all of Sunday off so it is really easy to make plans. The dress code is really
simple, and really cheap! We wear shirts provided by the company and business
casual style pants/shirts with nice shoes.

Compensation
At entry level I made $10 an hour and was also in the monthly
bonus program called the teller pool. I actually did quite well
in the teller pool and made an extra $200 each month. The
benefits are great like I discussed above, and I will be able to
get a 401 K on my one year anniversary.

Advice to Jobseekers
You're going to love it! I have worked for numerous companies
in the past and this one is the best. Not only that, but there
is no end to where you will stop learning, growing, and moving
up.
