They're both correct. ”In(side)" is more specific since it tells that you don't just work at the bank, you work IN it; but it's not necessary in this case since no one would ever assume you work at an outdoor bank. Which one you choose in this case is just personal preference.

I could be AT a stage in my life. I could be AT school. I could be AT odds with my enemies. I could be AT the Store or the Airport. I am AT the very least, generally happy if not indeed, always happy. I am sitting AT but not IN my computer. I am sitting AT, but not IN, my desk. Are you sitting AT your desk? ---------------------------------------------------- I am ON my chair. I am ON top of all of my problems. I am ON the telephone. I am ON the roof of my house. I am ON the Internet, but not AT or IN the Internet. (hope this helps. Ask for more help if you like) . •0 •Bruce •0 seconds ago •0 comments - Add a comment Flag Show previous comments Please enter between 2 and 2000 characters. Also: Besides being AT school, I can be IN school. I can be AT or IN a store. I would not be AT love or ON love, but I could be IN love. If I were a country, I could be AT war with another country. I could be involved IN a war with another country, but I would not be ON a war with another country. Here are some other examples and lessons: http://www.eslgold.com/grammar/in_on_at.html Also, here is a website with a little "test" so that you can see if you use the Propositions, AT, ON, and IN correctly. http://www.better-english.com/easier/inonat.htm

Natalia: here are some examples of the use of these: It is a bit of an abstract thing to try to teach a foreigner. We could say that we are AT the bank or IN the bank. Referring to education, we could say we are AT and IN a grade. This is a finely nuanced subject. I do not know what I can do to help. It is not easy for anyone. I recommend you study the way the words are used; but let me try by example. If I were tiny, I could be IN a bowl of Jello. I could be IN school. I could be IN trouble with teachers and administrators. I could be IN Jail or Prison. I could do something IN anger. I could be IN fear. I could be IN Space. I could be IN love. I could be IN disagreement with you. I could be IN a good mood. Are you deep IN thought? Are you deeply involved IN studying? --------------------------------------------------------------
