Pros

Having a licensed banker such as Series 7 or SIE is beneficial for both financial institutions and clients for reasons. The knowledge of product and services expands allowing for bankers to be able to sell securities, bonds, options, stocks. This creates a bigger pool to retain customer and allows to enhanced customer experience by aiding the growth of customers finances. Bankers will have to go through serious and rigorous training. This allows for those selected bankers to go more in debt with the interworking of the banks. Lastly, it increases the revenue for banks by creating these new streams of selling. Customer and fund retention increases. Attractive to higher-net-worth clients looking for investment opportunities.

Cons

Bankers will have to undergo new standards, the bar will be raised. Training will be necessary that will take from the revenue of bank but should not be discouraging since it will train bankers to be placed at a competitive advantage.

Pros

You could make really good friends....

Cons

GARBAGE pay for such a high-responsibility position. You’re doing way more than a regular teller, but the compensation does not reflect the workload at all. They advertise “competitive pay,” but every other bank in my area starts on average $4–$5 higher. The only “extra” compensation is micro bonuses for CC referrals, account openings (SALES ONLY — $7 per MAX POINT account), and JDP surveys, ranging from $25–$35 per successful one—good luck consistently hitting those. Be ready for long lines, nonstop pressure, and constant feedback about metrics and performance. It’s a high-stress environment that does not match the pay level. Once you’re cross-trained, expect to be doing the work of both a teller and a sales role while receiving none of the benefits of the sales point system that is supposedly used to justify the structure. Use this job as a stepping stone into banking, but don’t treat it as a long-term option—it’s not worth the stress. Across the industry and even locally, compensation is noticeably higher for similar or even less demanding roles. There’s no real rush or clear structure for advancement, but at least with the periodic mass layoffs used to cut costs and reset staffing back to lower pay levels, there’s technically opportunity to move up during turnover… (you still might be the one getting let go anyway).
