I started out at WSB as a part-time teller. I quickly learned what a supportive environment it was. The Bank invested in my Master's education, sent me to the New England School of Financial Studies, and supported my growth to the current position I'm in. Applying for that first position was the best decision I could have made. For those looking at opportunities at Watertown Savings Bank I'd say, give it a shot.

We were nervous about buying a house; it's such a huge purchase. But we had such a smooth and easy experience at Watertown Savings Bank. We sat down with the Vice President and just had a conversation. They made us feel so comfortable with the process. Now, I have the most beautiful home I could have ever hoped for! And I thank Watertown Savings Bank for that.
