Retail Branch Management Trainees Join the Chelsea Groton Team 

Chelsea Groton Bank recently hired three new team members, and transferred one existing member of the team into a new Retail Branch Management Training Program. 

Program participants will endeavor on a 12-month hands-on training program where they will work with customers, prospects, and team members from across the bank, and also participate in self-study in order to develop as bankers and leaders.
