Is it any good working for a retail bank as a customer advisor?

Question

This includes career promotions etc.

Answer 1

Hi!

Yeah, if all you want is someone on your back 24/7 wanting to know why you didn't sell the little 85 year old lady - who wanted to know your opening hours - a pension!!

Seriously, many years ago I worked for a major Building Society as a Customer Advisor, and everything was based on selling (or rather mis-selling) products to anyone and everyone whether they needed it or not.

Also, you need to be a major a*sehole to get promotion (and I've worked with a load of 'em), so if you're one - then you're well on your way!!

Hope this helps!!!

Answer 2

You mean a salesperson.

Your objective will be to sell not to advise.

So if you have a flair for selling - yes
