Banking IS a sales job
Pros: Great benefits. As a personal banker, there's no minimum you have to meet to get your commission cashed out. 1 point = $1. Flexible hours, even when full time.
Cons: This position may not last much longer as they are switching their focus to the RB (relationship banker) to focus on sales and balance growth (which a PB doesn't typically do). Sometimes spend more time as a teller than a banker when tellers quit or go on vacation which doesn't hurt your base pay but will hurt your commission. Even as a PB, your focus is to sell your convenience product and not showing enough points/$$, depending on your manager, will show that you're not doing your job well enough.
