In general, wages are higher for tellers who have more responsibilities. Experience and length of service also affect wages. In addition, large banks in large cities often pay slightly higher wages. Some banks offer incentive pay that rewards tellers for persuading customers to try new banking products.
Full-time bank tellers usually receive benefits, such as paid vacation, sick leave, and health insurance. However, part-time tellers rarely receive benefits.
