Knowledge leadership and growth

I work well under pressure, my environment is all about sales and there is pressure i work well with my co-workers i am at time in a position where i have to lead the team but in doing so i learn alot from team members. The most challenging part is to be very aware and vigulent for fraudulent clients and money laundering. I ts great to be part of a team that allows you to share ideas and give your opinions. I enjoy meeting different people and giving them excellent serves that makes them come back to the branch, building long term relationships. In saying all that there is days with aggrivated clients due to system issues or incorrect documentation but to keep the client calm and really listen attentively is key.

Pros: If you work hard and prove yourself you are recommended.
Cons: We work corporate hours not really a concern however not much growth in retail for me.

I need new challenges. I feel smothered in my current job

My daily tasks consist mostly of reconciling the departments general ledger accounts. I must manage the cash for the branch and see that I clear the excess money on a daily basis. I must also manage the cash requirements for the ATMs. I also stand in for the teller controller by authorizing transactions for the tellers. I also work on counter as a teller and enjoy the interaction with clients the most. My other responsibilities are to manage or foreign currency stock for the branch and order and clear currencies that needs to be cleared or ordered, I also work closely with the Foreign department to issue and receive currency from them. I work well in my team and treat all other staff with respect. I learn everyday new things as everything changes constantly. The most challenging aspect of my work is to manage cash, because I don't have control over clients depositing large amounts of money.

Pros: Pros for a new job: I can meet new people and learn someting new.
Cons: We are not getting paid well enough for the hours we have to put in

Working environment

my work enviroment has team work and i enjoy it. we help each other all the time about work, when we are busy we go extra mile to work overtime just to get the work done. i have learnt that teamwork is important as we achieve more if we work together. i have learnt about customer services and financial background of the company, on how to go on about that. the most challenging aspects is reffering sales and leads to consultants as we not a very busy branch all the time. we have our peak times. i enjoy working with money and doing financial books of the branch as now i am learning treasury.

Pros: to get promotions you need to prove yourself hard by being a fast learner and understanding the system. managers can even recommend you.
Cons: working overtime is part of my life as we fall under retail banking. yo must be willing to work extra mile
