I've been working at my local credit union for about a month. it's my first finance job coming from a background in sales. while I did enjoy some aspects of my previous sales jobs, I didn't like "pressuring" people to buy my product. I mostly enjoyed the customer service aspect of the job, including this one. helping someone out, having a casual conversation, maybe a couple laughs, then moving on to the next person. But why does a credit union (or any bank) have to have sales aspects? I understand the skills that are being built based on this, like communicating better and getting more comfortable with pitching ideas. But the fact that there's a quota that we have to meet pisses me off! People come into the bank to do things with their money, usually on a day when they're running errands. I'm sure the last thing they want to hear (and the last thing I'd want to hear if it were me) is "Do you want to apply for our credit card? I can sit you down with a banker!" or "Hey would you be interested in getting a different savings account?" They almost always say no, clearly not wanting to engage in something like that. even when/if it's a FREE service! people just want to be in and out, nothing more. please tell me I'm not the only Gen Z who feels this way!
