Compliance Officer Reviews
What is it like working as a Compliance Officer?
January 2016
Compliance Officer/ wires.
Compliance Officer:
Pros: I like that I am able to still work 40 hours a week and continue my education. I like the multitasking and responsibility given to me to make transactions go through.
Cons: Certain people are treated as higher up because of their level of education compared to others. Some of the different management within the organization is too lenient where it affects work getting done. There is also a lot of stress put onto you in my position. I may have 5 minutes to check an AML and check off people involved in the transaction with my signature all over the sheet. If something happens to go wrong (people involved in transaction are active criminals with money laundering/drug dealing) getting away with a transaction, my name is involved in the checking process which could get me into trouble.
