Anyone know the working hours for PB branch?

If for the tellers in the PB,normally what is the salary range? and the education level?

if i join as management trainee.Am i considered executive? And how long will i have to work before i can get all those bonuses?

I will tell you guys my first day experience as a Mgmt Trainee which was yesterday.
I went to the branch at 8.45am.Was introduced to all the people there.Then the bank started operations at 9 am.I was told i had to train at operations level which is downstairs for 4 weeks and move up to credit for two weeks,after which i will be sent to a training centre located in bangi for 2 weeks.(ok no complaints)

So actually this was not a working kinda job,its more like a study course which you have to learn everything.But instead of paying for the course,now the bank pays you to learn.COOL!

So i was given a full set of documents to show what i have learnt and have to tick at the box.So i was placed next to a officer at the front of the bank,just behind the tellers.Since he was so busy he could only teach me a little bit of here and there.But he was friendly.So practically,the whole day i spent observing what they did.But wow,seriously there was too much money lying around.Then after the bank closed at 4pm we ordered some food since the bank tellers which is the front line was very good today.See,we have a policy here that every customer must be served within two minutes if not a buzzer will go off and thats when it will be recorded.At the end of the month the BIG boss checks it and if not satisfactory,we all kena lah.I went home around 6pm which is considered early.

As a conclusion,everyone there was friendly and nice.Dont know how long this will last but at least its good.Managers were good but busy.I also managed to apply the Gold card CC.

As a Deposit account sales officer ,you will need to make sure there is a certain number of deposit accounts opened in a month be it Savings account,current account,WISE Accounts and other FD accounts too.

Mind you the target they set for you is ridicolous,the only way you can achieve it is by working REALLY REALLY hard.

If you dont hit the target within 3 months,they will kick you out.No questions asked.


Pls dont go into FRONTLINE as an officer.I was once a Senior Operations Officer for PBB but quit after 1.5 years.Pay is high,by work is really the most aweful place to be in .

As a front line officer ,they will give you a certain dept to be in charge of.Senior officers get more important tasks like Current accounts and normal officers will get Saving Accounts .

You will be expected to do the following:

1.Answer stupid phone calls within 3 rings.(The phone calls are almost non-stop oso)
2.Override teller request.Meaning customer wants to withdraw money,you have to override.In fact,anything the teller wants to do,you have to override.
3.Complete you daily reports(TONS OF THEM TO BE DONE).The reports are all damn thick!!!
4.If you r in Current Account dept,you have to confirm all the cheques issued by customer by 11am.Mind you,there would be about 80 customers to call.And each customer would have issued around 5 cheques.So GOOD LUCK in achieving it by 11am.
5.Depending on branch,you would be expected to bring in at least 2 credit card sales each month which sound easy but actually is not considering your damn BUSY during banking hours.
6.If you work in heavy volume branches,YOU can forget about even resting.Customers come in non-stop and if they are angry with something,they just BLAST the first person they meet and thats normally the FRONT LINE officers because the tellers will refer everything to the officer.

I used to work in PBB.You can ask me.




Lastly,for NEWCOMERS ,you will be FORCED to take part in their ANNUAL DINNER PERFORMANCE where you have to perform a dance in GROUPS in front of TAN SRI.

Ppl who reject will of course get bad marks for their appraisal.

I am not exaggerating all of the above in any way.If you do not trust the above,go ahead and work for them and you will experience what I have already said.

They pay you RM 2800 but your work is worth RM 5000

Oh yeah,thats why alot of guys like to go to PBB annual dinner.

They treat annual dinner like PRAWNSHOW!!

All pretty ladies will be chosen and if are really those "MIANG" type,all those ppl with big titles will go after you such as BSM,Branch Manager,Regional Manager...

Thats why PBB other's name is HAMSAP BANK..

All the Manager there work too long d,weird thing is alot of them still single so they prey on young ,horny newbies ...

Added on November 14, 2009, 7:33 pmIf you think you can really sell,go ahead.

If not,be prepared for the exit door in 3 months.

Added on November 14, 2009, 7:36 pmBro ,credit analyst is bette than sales.

But pls go to other bank for credit analyst.

Just avoid PBB.

PBB is like "HELL's" happy hour..

When you first join,it seems like a damn nice place to be in.

After u work 3 months,then you will see all the demons in there...

PFE is another name for Unit Trust Consultants.

What ur job function is well,of course bring in more UT sales.You are only allowed to sell PB unit trust not PUBLIC MUTUAL ones.

Of course,you have to perform within 3 months if not u r shown the exit door.

And one word of caution,the target they set for you is really really high.

During my tenure in PBB,there were at least 5 ppl who came in ,and either quit or was terminated by PBB due the above reasons.

As a saying goes,It's easy to get into PBB,but it's also easy to be shown the exit.

And for myself,I was a SOO,we also had a special saying.

It goes like this

Becareful with anything you sign ,cause you can simply sign sign sign until you resign!

Added on November 15, 2009, 3:07 pmYes,actually I think ur is Management Trainee position?

You see,PBB's way of work is typical ChinaMan Bank style.

They seem to hate new technologies that make's life easier.They dont like to see thier employees life easier.They want to make it hard for everyone.

So the way they work is,the more suffering there is,the better.

So for credit analyst,you can expect piles and piles of files on ur table most of the time.

Most banks are moving towards paperless transaction,but for PBB is the other way round.PBB use more and more paper for useless reports,daily server backup in branches ,etc etc.

To be safe but neverending paperwork,go for credit analyst.

If you want to take risk but get big rewards later on,go for sales.

Added on November 15, 2009, 3:09 pmOh i see,I used to scold the tellers if they are damn slow in executing their jobs.Hahahaha..

But most of the tellers were quite efficient and friendly.

The thing in PBB is,if your rank is higher than the other person,you can order him/her to do anything related to work.
