The teller was very careless to accept an unsigned check. At this point the bank may wish to contact the person who wrote, but failed to sign the check, and ask if he or she will sign it. If not, then the transaction has to be reversed, since it was not legal.
The bank would in most cases return the check as invalid and you would have to take it up with the person who gave you the check. No money would get credited to your account. Alternately the bank may opt to question you for depositing a check that wasn't signed and find out if it was an intentional case of forgery or malpractice. Also the teller who accepted the check without validating it thoroughly might face some consequences for his carelessness.
