My name is Jake and I’m a Teller for the Country Club Bank. First off let me tell you a bit about being a Teller and what you need to do. A teller as you probably already know is someone who works for the Bank and deals with customers on a day to day basis giving them information such as bank account reports and services. Being a Teller isn’t just about handling money though, we have to deal with any fraud that may go on such as identity theft and also be ready for any situation such as a bank robbery.
Now most people might think Jake, being a teller can’t be that dangerous since you have a thick block of bulletproof glass between you and the customer so it’s virtually impossible to be harmed. Well at the bank I work at we don’t have anything separating us from the customer, not even a pain of glass. This makes the risk a lot higher because of obvious reasons like armed robberies. Really what I am trying to say is I think my bank doesn’t take security too seriously since we also don’t have a lot of CCTV cameras inside which means some angles in the bank aren’t covered which is a serious issue that needs resolving. In fact, we don’t actually even have any cameras outside the premises apart from the one built into the ATM which means Somebody could walk into the bank with a mask an there would be no way of telling which way he went. If you look at it, it is kind of sad that in this day in age we still don’t have full security in a place of such high value like a bank. Think about if every bank was like mine and getting robbed it would soon be looked into but they just seem to look over the odd one or two possibly because they have never been robbed or maybe they are just too lazy to do anything about it.

Overall though, my job is quite interesting. Apart from the things that let me down like the poor security I do enjoy my job since I get to meet new people every day which is always a great experience. The pay is decent for an 18 year old still in education and even though it may not be ideal with the safety issues it is definitely worth it so and I am glad I was offered the Job. If I am deciding to stay in this job for long term I do intend on talking to the people above me about these concerns I have as I think it is important that if I am going to be staying in this job for a long time I shouldn’t need to have fear when coming to work and also it doesn’t just affect me and I might talk to the other Tellers in my bank as I am sure they all share the same concern as I do over security right now.
At Wells Fargo, teamwork and sales are important skills needed in order to succeed as a teller. At Wells Fargo, I plan to incorporate a system where each teller gains the skills necessary so that each task runs efficiently. To begin, I will start observing each banker’s, and each teller’s normal routine. I will be listening carefully to the conversations the tellers, and bankers are having with customers. As an observer, I will be taking notes on what the employee’s strengths and weakness are when lobbying to a customer, and working with coworkers. I will continue this process for a week. Once the week is complete, I will have one on one meetings with each employee. After the employee’s one on one meeting is complete, a proposed course of
The US has a sophisticated banking system that does a good job of allocating resources in productive place for their customers. However, in an area such as investment banking companies can use the deposited money for risky investments such as foreign government and corporate bonds. When these banks lose money on their investments or go out of business, all of the customer 's savings would be gone. Also, in this type of system bankers are more likely to commit fraud such as opening fake accounts vis a vis Wells
I knew more about JP Morgan and a banker’s life. It is not easy to be a banker, because it needs a long working time. However, if people like their job, they will not feel tired.
After four and a half months of working, I am just getting the hang of it. Being a cashier might sound easy, but over at Home Depot, it’s not. There are so many responsibilities for a cashier to do; it is just as hard as being a bank teller. You have to be quick at looking up items, being familiar with items in the store, checking every item for the right tag, and the list goes on. The cashiers are tested weekly with a secret shopper to make sure the cashiers are on their toes. The money has to be added up at the end of the day, each slip, coin, dollar bill, check and card. If it doesn’t add up, you don’t leave until you find out where it went. The cashier draw cannot hold more then 500$ at one time. Each time you collect up to five hundred you have to send it to the book keeping. All these responsibilities add up and are overwhelming for a cashier. A head cashier is responsible for every register and transaction in that store, along with the flow of lines and customer satisfaction. It is a job I would never want.

JPMorgan Chase is one of the largest and best known banks in the banking industry. JP Morgan Chase is a global financial service firm with operations in over 50 countries. With a CEO who is known as one of the banking industries top leaders it is obvious why they are in the top 10 of the fortune 500. Although JP Morgan Chase bank is one of the leaders in the industry I believe they are a long way away from being the most innovative bank around. Banks can be one of the most targeted locations for robberies which is why I find it important for them to protect their customers and themselves. Utilizing computerized bankers would be a good start to safety within their branches. Money should not be kept on the floor of any bank to avoid unnecessary situations.

It is no doubt that money is something that is needed in everyone’s lives. Our clothes, food, health insurance, education, and so many more require money. Many individuals understand the significance and benefits of money. When you have good income and financial resources, you will be given freedom and choices in this life.

Your identity is unsafe in more places than you may realize. Every store you walk in has the possibility or either having someone behind the counter, or someone hacking into a business from outside, readily waiting to steal your identity. Using your credit card in any store is never safe no matter what signs are posted around the store, or how big the company is; it’s not always the people who work there that want your identity.

There is actually much more than doing just that. Security guards might patrol in a car and others may walk around in buildings to make sure nothing suspicious is going on. Others may patrol on foot. Most government buildings and military buildings are guarded at all times. They also have to direct people to an emergency exit in dangerous situations. Some guards work with security dogs. The only down side of the work conditions is that you may have to work on some holidays and weekends. Very few guards are armed while working. Many industries find weapons unnecessary for security guards. Banks are one of the few businesses that have armed guards. If the guards are standing or on patrol they may be standing at a gate or door. They may have to stand for long hours at a time. Some security jobs can be a routine or repetitive. Others can be dangerous, but exciting. Many security guards just patrol, but a small percentage have to work in an
Being a security guard can be difficult and challenging. It requires a good and healthy education to be a higher rank because of experience. This job is meant to be taken very serious because not only is your life at risk so are others. Security guards are all around you even when they do not physically appear in front of you. Education can also help with a better
