Bank employees may go through a rigorous review when it comes to trustfulness, but are they really closely screened when it comes to providing pleasant, articulate, enthusiastic customer service?

Wow.

@Mary yes, and be prepared to take drug test, as well.

They are, indeed, very diligent about this, Susan.

 

Do not even think about applying to a financial institution for work if you have bad credit or a record with the law.

Mary, 

I would have thought that financial services have already figured out a way to assess the trustfulness of their employees at the time of the job interview, or a stage after this. That would be the most important quality I would be looking for in an employee.

That's a very good question.

I suppose that one key here is that financial regulators remain focused on the institutions themselves--so outside risks can remain unchecked.

Mary,

Bank employees go through a more rigorous process before they're hired than other industries where employees also have access to personal information.  The public's guard is down especially in financial services institutions.  There's probably more concern these days about the WiFi dangers walking through public places.  I wonder where the greater risk really is?
