Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

      I used to... day to day?
      Umm.. you get to work if you're there for opening, they'll have some sort of security procedure where one person goes in to check everythiing and if they're not out by a certain time you call the police... lol

      Umm... what you do can vary. You can be encoding tickets with account numbers, letting people into safe deposit boxes, or if you're lucky, you'll get to help xxxxxxx customers...

      Which bank?

        Hey, thanks for the input. It's a local bank here in NY. It's basicly retail banking. They have the personal representatives that try to sell you a checking account or CD, and the tellers that do teller stuff. You get the picture.
        What do the managers do?

        I'm trying to get into their management trainee program, and since I've never worked in a bank before I wanna go in there with guns blazing. (information wise)

            I'll find a way to make it all fit. But right now I want a year to think about it, while working.

              That's a great idea, and while you are at it, don't forget to check your PM box. Where you offered a managerial position? From what I heard it's a very monotonous task, not much excitement or challenge.

                If it's anything like retail management I can handle it. All jobs are boring. If you're fresh out of school like me it's no time to get picky.

                  Retail Management is awful. All jobs are not boring, it's a matter of whether you are doing something you feel passionate about. And every job offers a learning experience and a different outlook, doesn't mean you have to permanently commit yourself to them. But you are right, at this moment one cannot be very picky, the job market is still slowly recovering.

                    Depends on which manager... in the branch, the asst manager does operational stuff. Internal auditing, training tellers, reviewing/releasing holds, deciding which overdrafts to pay and which to return... that sort of thing.

                    The manager deals more with sales... trying to get big clients for the branch, handing complaints or problems with important clients that want the managers attention, making sure everyone's making their "numbers",etc
                    I dont know as much about the manager's responsibilites because I was closer w/ the asst. manager at the bank I was at.

                    It was one big happy family. I know the manager well too, but what she did wasnt as obvious to me as a teller/new accounts rep.

                    I wouldn't plan on getting into banking btw... Asst managers make like 35-40 on average. Peanuts for the amount of work, stress, and responsibility. It's hard to become manager and requires years and years of experience. They're the ones that make decent money (in the branch anyway) 100k+.
