You will help our customers with banking transactions through First Fed’s multiple channels, including in-person at our branches, at the drive-through, on the phone, through chat, and even through video banking using our Interactive Teller Machines.

You will be the person our customers go to when they have questions or need help. We trust our Floats to create great first impressions with customers and to handle and balance our cash tills.
