Job listings posted July 9th. Melrose Hotel, PNC Bank, and Harris Teeter.

A CVM number is one tool that can help employers contact job seekers, but internet usage is also a way to obtain critical information. Technology is changing, and we all have to keep up with the times. Many of our partnering agencies offer free PC use, in addition to computer literacy classes. Not having an email address can prove to be a true obstacle in obtaining employment, in addition to not discovering helpful information that can make a real difference.

Anyone who signs up with CVM, including an email address, enjoys an added benefit. An alert will be sent via email to signal that a message is waiting for the recipient. This simple notice cuts down on needless trips to find a telephone without knowing if messages are waiting. Although the recipient can't hear the message on line, the indicator saves users time and energy.

As an employee of PNC Financial Services Group, you become part of an organization committed to customers, employees, investors, and the communities in which we do business. PNC is an established, growing and successful financial services company, with businesses organized around retail and commercial banking, asset management, and funds processing. Our branches are concentrated in thirteen states and the District of Columbia; additional offices are located nationwide and internationally. We are growing in size and through recent acquisitions have become the fifth largest bank by deposits in the US. We are also growing in reputation, as a leader in areas such as work/life family culture, "green" building design, frontier technology, and strong corporate social responsibility.

Tellers are the key element of any retail bank: the personal face of PNC to its retail customers. As a PNC Teller Banking Representative, you join an organization with the size of a 1,000 branch bank network, and with the small scale and manageability of your branch office. In your role, you'll gain the satisfaction of knowing that you are meeting customers' needs by providing personable, quick service. This position is based in our 20th and L Street branch location. The 20th and L Street branch is open from Monday-Friday 9am- 6pm. This position will report to the Branch Manager.

Each banking day will follow a typical rhythm, one that engages you while you are there, and one that also let's you leave your day at the office. There will be a regular set of prescribed procedures, but a variety of customer requests and transactions: check cashing, deposits, loan payments or withdrawals, and product explanations. You'll be counted upon for your accuracy and math skills, of course. But your tact, diplomacy, and communications skills will be equally important, with familiar customer faces or new ones. All the while, your position brings you the security and room-to-grow offered by a large company, and the neighborliness of a branch bank, where you'll know the customers by name, and work in a team-oriented environment.


JobRequirements

The successful candidate will have the following qualifications:


High School Diploma or equivalent.
At least 6 months of cash handling or retail service experience is required.
Excellent interpersonal skills and professional manner.
Ability to cross-sell products and services preferred.
Prior experience in being evaluated by customers is preferred.
Good verbal communication skills.
Computer skills to include the ability to work in Windows based systems.
Aptitude for mathematics.
Ability to lift heavy coin as well as stand on feet for a long period of time.
Ability to work evenings and weekends based on branch needs.
Ability to communicate in another language is a plus.
PNC is committed to offering you a comprehensive and competitive benefits package. We design our full time and part time benefits programs based on PNC's benefits philosophy to provide quality levels of coverage at affordable costs over the long term for both employees and PNC. We strive to balance the cost of providing competitive benefits with the need to cover employees with a wide range of protection during and after employment.

Options you may be able to consider include:

Medical and Dental Coverage
Life Insurance
Part Time Benefits
Education Assistance
Paid Training
Paid Vacation
Competitive Pay
Shift Differential
401(k) and Pension Plan
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Flexible Schedules
Growth Opportunity
Work/Life Balance

PNC is an Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer -- M/F/D/V/SO
