you nailed it....for me that is slavery...goes to show the weak labor laws in Nigeria and total disregard for employees....the bank will use you, rinse you, shred you and finally have a flimsy reason to dump you, all your initial suffering gone......My take is simple, instead of suffering so much like that for another man's business who doesn't appreciate you, why not put that effort on yourself and see the progress you will make within few years I slaved through this process and I can tell you that I am a permanent staff. Funny enough those who castigate these DSAs are even at home jobless coming on social media to castigate people who are putting food on their own table. I challenge any young man out there not to listen to what ladies say about whatever little job they are doing presently. When they blow, these dumb broke girls would not even appeal to them anymore 6 Likes |

It seems your head runs on a different kind of oil. Corporations are milking the average worker out there with little or no benefits for the future. I'd ask, while not weather it and start something, Nigeria have the biggest market in Africa +15 other Ecowas countries, if we can think outside the box, poverty will be gone for good. 2 Likes |

Omo am not going again oooo Banking/ DSA (Marketing) is not as bad as portrayed up there my dear. In life u learn to start. Please accept the job. It will give u an opportunity to meet people and create important relationship that will decide and make things easier for u in the future. For instance, I know someone who is a marketer but then published a book, invited his key customers for the launching and mad #3.2m from the launch. Some get better paying job (like federal and state govt jobs) through these relationships, while others learn a lot and put in the knowledge in their own businesses and prosper. My only advise is that "don't get dubious or try to do deceptive things to make momentary or quick money" as that will lead u to no where at the end of the day. 4 Likes |

Well captured @pocohantas. In addition, THE WORST PART is that DSA Experience is not regarded as anything in the banking sector. It means even when u have 5years DSA experience it cannot qualiify u for a Full STAFF job in other banks. even as an E.T.(Complete waste of time). Infact, it amount to shooting your self on the foot if you input DSA in your CV when applying for jobs.Employers don't want to associate with it. The moment potential Employers see DSA in your CV during interview just no that your rating is going down,down,down d drain. DSA job is as useless as Dog shit. Government need to Stop this Modern Slavery of underemployment by Commercial banks.

Then for a place like FCMB a deposit that you bring in the month of November will no longer count for you by December .An account officer will be assigned to managed the account while you start again. fcmb is d worst place to work.
