Pros

There are some but they can be difficult to see with all the cons

Cons

No clear processes. Depending on who you ask a question there is a different answer, was sold the job on Monday to Friday's but have since been forced to work Saturday's and take a half day during the week so we don't get overtime. Loud, slow equipment also we are expected to arrive 10-15 mins before work so our many slow outdated systems can load up for which we do not get payed even though as part of Irish employment law you must be giving time to setup when you shift starts.

Pros

Loads of overtime available because of lack of staff and overworking, good rate of pay.

Cons

Lack of training and progression, management are very poor at ensuring team work and communication. High turnover from particular teams suggesting particular managers just don't understand how to work a team. Hot desking and a clean desk policy is a nightmare, the desks are constantly being made smaller for 'increased capacity', more like cattle hearding.

Pros

When I worked there they paid for your insurance qualifications. Shame they omitted to say they didn't care if you were qualified. Regulators need to inspect a bit more...

Cons

They don't care if you get insurance qualifications. You are a cost to the business not an asset! No final salary, they have robbed customers and staff of the orphan assets that should have ensured endowment mortgages were paid irrespective of economic issues. They have taken all of the assets of the business including the value of the buildings and given this to shareholders . They should return to being a mutual. Bring back endowment mortgages as a mutual society. Or RETURN THE ORPHAN ASSET MONEY STOLEN FROM THE ENDOWMENT POLICYHOLDERS TO THE ENDOWMENT POLICYHOLDERS! WHERE ARE THE INSURANCE REGULATORS AND WHY HAVE THEY ALLOWED THIS AND OTHER INSURERS TO ROB MORTGAGE ENDOWMENT POLICYHOLDERS! THE GOVERNMENTS ABD ALLEDGED REGULATORS OVER THE YEARS HAVE ALLOWED INSURERS TO ROB THE ORPHAN ASSETS, RENAME THEN INHERITED ASSETS AND KEEP THEM FOR THE FAT CAT IWNETS WHILE THEY TELL NIAVE ENDOWMENT POLICYHOLDERS THAT THERE IS NO MONEY DUE TO ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. ( they hide the orphan assets which actually pay for shortfalls due to economic conditions. Look up the contra preferentum rule- they changed the rules of the policy as they went along.! WHERE ARE THE SO CALLED REGULATORS?!)
