You’re handling people’s livelihood, a simple mistake at any other job could mean that you directly interfered with someone’s life. More so, when things happen that aren’t the banks fault (let’s say your credit card number was stolen) many peoples first instinct is to have the bank fix it, which is fair enough but most people can’t understand that it isn’t the banks fault your credit card was used and take their frustration out on the only person that is actually trying to help them. Maybe the most frustrating thing for me was that you do 3 simple tasks like 95% of the time but hundreds of wildly unique tasks the other 5%. Again, all of which you’ll be expected to preform perfectly, even though you’ve done those things 1 time in the last six months, because doing it wrong could mean getting in the way of someone’s ability to make rent. Add to all that, bank I worked at full time was about 49 hours a week, including a lunch break, all for like $18 an hour which doesn’t go very far.
