I am interested in knowing more about the work of a Universal Banker or Personal Banker with US Bank. I realize that one component of a banker’s work is to open new accounts, cross-sell other financial services to existing customers, and try to seek out new customers. Would you describe this job as a high pressure sales position? Are there specific sales quotas that bankers have to meet to avoid losing their jobs? I once worked as a drivethru teller for Wells Fargo and ultimately left because I could not reach their sales quotas. I don’t want to make the same mistake twice but perhaps US Bank is a little less demanding in that area. Furthermore, perhaps it is easier to sell in a banker position when you can take your time to sit down with customers one-on-one than as a teller when your customers just want to get in, get out, and be on their way. What are your experiences?

I think you will find that most banking positions which involve performance pay will require a certain number of new accounts to be opened. Salaries are high in most companies and you will be expected to perform at the highest level. I would expect most banks to operate the same regardless of what is on the sign out front.
