Well, I've recently completed my first week of work at Carolina First Bank. There's not a whole lot to report. I couldn't really do anything because I have gone to training yet, so I really just spent my time reading the teller training manual and shadowed the other tellers as they performed transactions. A little boring, but I'll get paid for it, so that's good. Everyone is really nice. All three of us main tellers are 23 years old which is interesting. We are all pretty different too. Our head teller is from Montana and has 2 kids, and our teller that works the drive-thru is a Wilmington native and has been working there for 2 years. Our Money Manager doesn't work at our branch all the time, but travels to the various surrounding branches, wherever she's needed. My boss is really nice, and seems very easy to talk to. Everyone has been extremely helpful and hopefully after this week I will be able to help out more. I leave for training this afternoon in Myrtle Beach and will be there all week. I would be more excited if I weren't going alone, but it will be alright. I'll finally have time to finish Sense & Sensibility and will probably be dog-tired everyday once I get off at 5pm anyway.
As far as what I will be doing it varies from person to person obviously. I'll be able to process everything from withdrawals to deposits to loan payments, etc. There's much more to banking than I thought, but I'm finding it pretty interesting. At training I'll learn about The Bank Secrecy Act (top-secret info that I've signed my life away for...I can't even tell you guys about--I'm sure Kate, you can relate) and all the many regulations I have to follow as a process transactions. Oh, and of course I'll learn how to handle potential robberies. It's not Iraq, but I still have to be careful.
Well, I guess that's pretty much it. I'll post about training sometime next week.
Oh, and FYI Kate: Cardinal Red, Scrambled, and Shaken.

I'm going to need to know the top secret information from the Bank Secrecy Act as soon as possible. Thanks ;)
ahahahaha THANKS for answering my questions lala!! hahaha awesome. your job sounds quite appealing, you have a lot of different things to know and learn, its nice not thinking of just hmmm how do i flip this burger or how much espresso goes in huganormous latte. like you said, there's more to it, and that's super cool. my mom was in banking, she was at Planters which became First Union and was bought by Wachovia i believe. so, if you need help or advice, she knows all the inner workings, it was her first job in RoMo. I LOVE YALL
