Job Promotion
Today I was told that I received the new position that I had applied and interviewed for a few weeks ago. I will start the position in mid January, but will not actually be receiving the pay for the position. I will still be paid as a teller and will be reviewed to see at what point I fit in within the pay grade scale a few months later. I’m thinking the pay grade is between $24K and $36K.
This will be a great chance to learn the loan side and gain knowledge required to move into a loan officer position in the future. We’ll see how my pay effects my bottom line probably in March, but until then there will not be too much change.
I will be driving 200 miles less to work each week, which will be good on the cost of traveling. I travel 40 miles a day, but I will only be traveling about 1 miles once I start the new job.
Also I was told that as a teller I have received a raise of about $500 which equals about 10 bucks a week. Thats enough to pay my cell phone bill

CONGRATS!!
That’s awesome to hear. Even though you are still being paid as a teller, you’re going to be learning so much more stuff, plus the shorter commute is a huge bonus too. Congrats again, you deserve it!!!!!

First of all, CONGRATS! That’s very excited, and this sounds like a cool opportunity to get to know a new department. Second: I’ve never heard of getting a promotion without the money change–is that common? I hope it’ll go great for you and you get a fabulous starting pay when they bump you up. Keep us updated!

I’m not sure if it’s common, but in the employee handbook it says that there is a “trial” period to make sure your a fit for the position. If you are then you receive your raise. If your not then you get put back into your previous position.

Good luck with the promotion! I also think it’s weird that you don’t receive the raise right away…I don’t know how I would feel about doing a job that I wasn’t getting paid to do…
