New hire as Associate Banker - what should I prep for my first day?

Hello all! I’m a 28F (29 next month), and I am starting with Chase as an Associate Banker. I just received my official “all clear” email with my start date in the next few weeks and I’m waiting to hear back on specifics!

Is there anything that you wish you had done for your first day, or that you had prepared for, brought to work…?
I’m also a bit nervous about dress codes and I hope to hear something about that when I get specifics, but anything you’d suggest, or anything I should know?

Do we get lockers to put our things away, or do we have an assigned desk, do we get to keep our bags or backpacks with us or something? Or do I pack light and expect to barely touch my stuff lol

At one of my previous jobs in a pharmacy, being the environment we were in, we had lockers and we’d need to do bag checks before coming in and out + only clear plastic water bottles were allowed, vs. having an administrative job with my own assigned work area, so I’m trying to figure it out and plan to the best of my ability.

Thank you for any feedback or advice you may be able to share!
