After dismissing 5,850 employees to cut costs, the First Union Corporation will hire more than 2,000 tellers, after the sixth-largest United States bank realized its branch staff was not adequately serving customers. A First Union spokeswoman, Allison Rash, said the bank had been short by about 1,000 tellers for several months. The bank decided last week that it needed to hire another 1,000. There is a high turnover rate among tellers, she said. In March, the bank, based in Charlotte, N.C., said it was eliminating 5,850 jobs, or 7 percent of its work force, to offset higher spending on businesses including capital markets, capital management and retail delivery. Of that number, fewer than 2 percent worked in branches, Ms. Rash said.
