Over a three year period, I was very successful at honing customer service and sales skills, and was vindicated by constant feedback from our members. I worked in this capacity at two different branches, the second was our Main branch which was larger and much busier. I enjoyed autonimy, from the start of my employment with A+, due to my ability to make good decisions that benefited both the member and the Credit Union. For a large portion of this time, I ran the drive thru at both locations alone. The transactional volume was between 200 and 600 transactions per day.
