Analysis Of Being A Teller

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.

...There are a whole lot of things our bank could improve on to be honest!
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.
