SO I know it's been a few weeks, but the past few weeks have been a little hectic! As I mentioned in my last post, I was to start a new position with SunTrust Bank on June 4. Well June 4, 2012 came and went and I started my new job! I attended a half day of orientation that Monday with the rest of the day free to absorb all of the information. It was a very exciting day for me so I ate lunch at Tom's Panera and went home and relaxed with Max the rest of the afternoon! That Tuesday, I reported promptly to my new office (Midtown, 14th and Peachtree, Campanile Building for those familiar with Atlanta) and started getting familiarized with SunTrust policies, procedures, my new job, my new coworkers (still don't remember all of their names, but I'm learning), my floor (it's very maze-like), etc., etc., etc.
Fast forward a few weeks and I'm now in my 3rd week of the new job! I'm still getting my feet wet so to speak. I'm learning the new systems, learning the new formats, etc., but everything is a learning process! I've gotten myself acquainted with a lot and doing a lot of the research and analysis on my own, but still have questions. So far, I'm loving it! It's a breath of fresh air from my last position! I enjoy what I'm doing and it's definitely a bit more challenging than my last job duties! My coworkers are very nice and while I don't remember all of their names just yet, I will learn them eventually. The person I interact with the most is a Romanian expat who moved to the States in 1998. He has been a great help and I love talking to him about the cultural differences between Romania and the US of A! For instance, in Romania, people (children included) don't sit on the floors because they are "dirty" whereas in America, we always sit on the floor! While it was strange to hear that this is an oddity in other parts of the world, it's enlightening at the same time. I LOVE to learn about new cultures so I look forward to learning more from him on this new career path!
So not only am I really enjoying my new position three weeks into it, I'm also LOVING my new benefits! I get discounts on things (such as Braves and Falcons tickets, tickets to shows and theaters, stores, electronics, restaurants, etc.). We will have MUCH better health insurance options. I am able to join diversity groups and become more involved in the community through the community service programs. I have stumbled upon a fabulous opportunity with a GREAT company! While I'm sure my opinions will change at times (as no one's job is absolutely perfect), I can't foresee disliking my company or my career growth and development options. I'm VERY excited about this opportunity and look forward to new opportunities that lie ahead!!
On a side note, Daddy will be in town this week!!! So even though I didn't get to spend Father's Day with him, I get to see him for the next few days! I'm VERY excited about this, too!! I will soon have a Father's Day post dedicated to him!
