Life Of A Network Admin At A Small Community Bank.
Network Administrator:
A network administrator starting their career at a small community bank will not realize that working in such an environment is much slower than working in a larger organization that is situated in the downtown or business center area of their respective town. Although work is not as fast-paced it does bring with it the ability to take on many more tasks and projects than your peers at larger organizations because usually these small communities will have a smaller staff on hand meaning you will have more responsibilities and not be placed in a niche area of your expertise.
I deal, on a day to day basis, with network administration, help desk duties, database administration, administration of our virtual server infrastructure, bank-related reporting as well as bank-related customer facing application administration. Many times I have to deal with customers over the phone as a sort of Level 2 or 3 tier support person in the event support itself is unable to resolve the issue.
July 2014
It Comes With Certain Benefits.
Network Administrator:
Pros: The power. I like the power given to me by the organization. The whole network structure is in my hands.
Cons: Complexity, not be appreciated for what we do and always be hated for certain restrictions.
June 2014
Career Path.
