Your not a person, your a sales number

Teller

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The insurance benefits are wonderful, they offer health, dental and eye. Paid vacation time is very good, at 25 years you get 35 days plus holidays.

Cons

Being micro-managed on sales is very stressful. Nothing else you do is important. I think it's very sad to feel such sales pressure that you lose track of what's right or wrong for the customer.
