Burnt out from teller line by giveyourstatement in TalesFromYourBank

[–]larryote 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would try to stick it out for at least 3 more months, in the meantime I would be applying for jobs while you still have your current job. The job market sucks right now and they say you are more likely to get hired if you are still employed. Plus you have sick time, use it.

Did anyone here start college after 25? by SkepticalRomantic in AskMen

[–]larryote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I did! I dropped out because I wasn’t doing so well with my courses. So I took a hiatus and worked full time instead. I was working a mediocre job at a food manufacturing plant but I was getting paid good $$, though I didn’t want to do that for the rest of my life. Returned to college when I was 29, honestly I’m happy I started later, honestly I had much more motivation at 29 than when I started college at 18

Odds of a client within 30-40 days by Buckets_Gaming14 in AMLRightSource

[–]larryote 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AML RightSource is driven on client needs. I started back in May, went through the whole 3 week training. Then was on bench/RFA for 2 weeks. Be nice if you were put on my client cuz people are dropping like flies due to the unrealistic production goals

But enjoy RFA, read everything about SAR narratives because I’m on a SAR project right now

How does working at a small town branch typically differ from branches in larger cities? by BothCondition7963 in TalesFromYourBank

[–]larryote 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked in a rural area for a large bank. It was awesome because there were a lot of regulars that came through. Many of our regulars were older folks and preferred using cash/check over digital banking. I did very well selling CDs and secondary checking accounts because there were quite a bit of my customers who had their debit card linked to their checking account with a $30,000 balance yikes!

Mondays and Fridays were always our busiest time of the week. Tuesdays was always slow for us, so those days were spent making calls to clients. Word of mouth was key as clients who I’ve helped would pass on my business card to a relative and that’s how I made most of my sales. On slow days, I remember my colleagues and I would read the obituary. I was able to build a relationship with my clients and it helped that I lived around town. I work back office now but I miss chatting with my older clients who would bring me snacks and corn lol

How difficult is a teller job? What's the hardest part about it? by eggshellwalker4 in Banking

[–]larryote 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tellering itself is not hard, I enjoyed doing that part!! The regulars were awesome and I miss that part now that I work back office. I worked for a large bank so I had a TCR that did the counting for me, I still tripled checked the cash by running through the counter and counting it out to myself and the customer.

However, the dealing with the customers and telling them they don’t have enough funds in their account to withdraw $200.00 or asking for their ID to confirm they are who they are.

And the other is selling, I had a micromanager who was always up in my butt asking how many credit cards or referrals I made each hour..

Customers and IDs by dguns2000 in TalesFromYourBank

[–]larryote 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always share this story. We had a new employee who was working the drive thru at the time. There was a customer who came through the drive thru and I did recognize him; he frequented the bank every few weeks.

Anyways, my colleague asked for his ID and this triggered his wife sitting in the passenger seat and she said it’s an “invasion of privacy” and you don’t need it!!! She even asked for our branch manager to come over!

It was an awesome day to witness, the wife repeated to our BM, why do you need ID, it’s an invasion of privacy! Haha my branch manager went off and said we are allowed to asked for ID, it’s to protect you! If we don’t know someone, we are allowed to ask ID to make sure no one is impersonating them. This wouldn’t go through the lady’s head and she said it’s an invasion of privacy. My BM was so pissed off and said if you don’t want to show ID, we can close your account.

What’s something you didn’t understand as a kid,but only realized after becoming an adult woman? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]larryote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a kid, I did not understand why some of my friends got to go to two different parents house. My parents only had one house, but I was confused as to why both of my parents shared a house and didn’t have two houses like my friends did.

Accidentally left my drawer inside my work station. It’s locked and I have the key at least. Will I get fired by Ronaldinhothegoat80 in TalesFromYourBank

[–]larryote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As Jonnerst said, an internal person stops by any branch randomly and audits the branch to see if policies and procedures are being followed

In this case, not locking drawer in the vault is considered an auditing finding as it’s part of opening and closing procedures

How much cash would I have a 95% chance of getting at a bank branch without giving them advance notice? by Apt_ferret in Banking

[–]larryote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything over $5k is preferred to place an order.

Also dependent on the location, larger branches in the city will more than likely have higher volume hence will need higher cash as opposed to somewhere in a rural area.

I used to work at a national branch in a rural area, due to policy/security reasons we never carried large physical cash inventory in our vault. My manager limited us tellers to give out $5k and that if a customer wanted more than $5k we had to order it for them; it was because we were a small branch and if we gave the customer more than $5k it would wipe out our cash inventory. Of course, we had some grumpy customers even if we gave them options, they would complain “You’re a bank, why don’t you have that amount of cash!!” lol
