This is hard
So I've done 2 days of training for this teller job.
So far...it's fucking hard!
Like I don't know if it's just the job itself or how I'm being taught but it's being made out to be really hard.
Basically we're lectured how to do like 2-3 different procedures and then expected to do all three in practice on practice machines and stuff.
It's kinda silly to expect somebody to pick up those things that quick. A lot of us are also worried about making mistakes since it seems you make a mistake and you're fired. I mean that does make sense but still...it's not encouraging.
I'm not going to mention how she told a story of being robbed at gunpoint...at the very branch I'll be working at...yep...
Basically...this is tough. The equipment is also confusing. Plus for training it seems the company sets up these little training accounts to practice on...but EVERY branch uses them for training so you'll enter amounts and stuff into them and 10 seconds later they'll be much different because somebody else on the East Coast did something to it. So most of our training is to "pretend it's listed correctly."
I just personally think it's a rough training environment and we're all being given too much information to process in such a small time frame.
I'm not giving up yet though...training ends next Tuesday (being paid for training too from 8:30-5) and then I get to shadow somebody at my branch so hopefully I learn how to do this better between those times. It's just so many things to remember and it's all being flooded at once.
I don't see why we can't learn one step at a time. What's the harm in that? Master one (or come close to it) and move to the next. That way you don't have to stop eight times to show how to fix nine different mistakes.
Starbucks seems easier than this. lol
Too bad Adam never called me again. While that doesn't make me hate Starbucks I'll just never go to that particular store again (not that I ever got coffee there to begin with but...oh well to them)
So I'm just hoping to learn this job...do well at it...not screw up...and make money and have a car by August.
So far...it's fucking hard!
