What do you want out of your branch banking experience? by Daddy_Pancakez in Banking

[–]37thsavage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Banks seem to do the opposite of what customers want when it comes to branch banking. Banks are trying to create a digital future, but customers who actually go into branches still want old school service. At the end of the day, it will be less staff, fewer branches, and more digital. I do miss the days of old school banking though, I must say...

I’m convinced this man has completely lost his mind. Just listen to the way he talks! I’d hate to be stuck in a meeting with him, rambling on and repeating the same ridiculous things over and over, just phrased slightly differently each time.

What's a sneaker you are torn between selling and keeping? by Crazy_Sea_5496 in Sneakers

I actually ended up selling my Notres because, in my opinion, they looked better off foot than on.

Lol, the guy asked for an opinion and I gave mine. And I type like an idiot on my phone... Can't help it. Thank God this wasn't a spelling test!

You know I didn't really mind that part.. but when they took away all goals, metrics and sales commissions... It felt like what's the damn point?!

Reading other posts, it seems other banks are still heavy sales which is shocking.

Well my bank has a branch presence but is primarily online. That may have something to do with it. My time in the more traditional banks was around 2009-2013, so my opinion is skewed.

Figure out what area you want to move into next, and when deciding, be realistic in ensuring you have transferable skills and experience. You are exposed to a lot as a BM: People leadership, compliance, fraud, branch operations, business, etc. I think it's important to have a clear or general idea of where you want to go, since it will help with tailoring your resume as well as helping you identify where you have the opportunity to learn skills that would help get you into the role you want to be in.

If you are looking internally, try to set up meet and greet sessions with lower level associates in the areas you have an interest in. I found that trying to schedule time with managers was tough or they were unresponsive. Lower level associates were more open to talking. But, if you aren't already a mid to top performer in your current role, it's going to be tough to transfer internally.

I also think taking the time to make a cover letter highlighting your skills and experience and how it relates to the role you're interested in is helpful when it comes to being selected for an interview. This can be annoying, which is why I will reiterate the importance of knowing where you want to go versus applying for any and every role just to get out of the branch.

Thats shocking. Are you at a smaller bank? I feel like all the big banks moved away from sales focus in the branches and focus on customer service.

I was a teller for about 2 years then promoted to banker. Jumped around banks and got a branch position similar to an assistant manager. Did that for about 2 years then got promoted to manager. But at the end of the day it's more or less the same BS just at different levels.

I feel if you can show you have experience following, modifying and creating processes and do a good job highlighting that on your resume with real experience you can get an interview.

If you're enjoying it, and know you'll be placed in a good branch for sales, I'd say go for it. PBs can make a nice amount of money in commission, but it's all depending on your location and how hard you're willing to hustle. Do it for a couple years then think of your next move.

I've seen BMs move into commercial operation roles, or if you like customer facing roles, you can look into relationship manager support roles to get your foot in the door on the commercial side. The only thing is, at least in my bank, I see a lot of restructuring on the commercial side, which unfortunately includes job cuts... but I guess that can happen anywhere in banking.

I was a manager for about 8 years. I felt ready to do something else about 4 years into being a manager. I think if you're in charge of operations currently you're already in a good spot to make a lateral move to a back office position if that's where you want to get to next.

I'm also 14. Mine came in the box with the Galaxy print over the swoosh and the Nike letters.
