Good Place to work
Test Manager (Contract) (Former Employee) – Dublin – 1 February 2019
It was a good place to work and had the opportunity to learn new things from Bank of Ireland. A day in the Bank of Ireland starts with a busy schedule because I was handling multiple teams located in different countries with different time zones. I learned to handle the remote team in different countries with different culture and different time zones. The hardest part of the job was test data management. I need to rely on the third party for test data and generation of test data is complicated
Pros
Good environment
Cons
Long hours
not the greatest

Branch Assistant (Former Employee) – Ireland – 8 January 2019
Learn in role, on job.
Could work on management in all areas between colleagues to work together, staffing numbers would assist in this area also.
Large amount of information to be learnt in all areas, fast paced roles in which you must be willing to be flexible in working.

Helpdesk Call Agent/Fraud Response Team (Former Employee) – Dublin – 9 October 2018
I am fully QFA(Qualified Financial Adviser) as of July 2017
have worked on both the operations(back office) side and the customer to customer helpdesk & query side.
I have also been part of a project Team to identify Fraudulent transactions & cancel fraud payments before leaving customers account. If unsuccessful we also made our best effort to recoup the customers funds.
Currently my day to day tasks include processing, ordering, re-issuing, & cancelling Business Credit Cards.
I am in direct contact with the Companies themselves for any requests or queries.
I also compile MIS reports & QA of all work carried out by the Team on a Day to Day basis.
I like to work here as staff are treated well & fair, but opportunities are becoming more limited, with robotics systems being rolled out.
Also there are very few employee incentive schemes.

Welcome Advisor (Former Employee) – Fermoy, County Cork – 15 August 2018
I worked with Bank of Ireland on a Summer internship. It was a great learning curve for me, but the bank I worked in was very old fashioned and allot of workers didn't like the change of automation or welcoming new employees.
Customer Focused
Welcome advisor (Former Employee) – IE – 30 July 2018
I thoroughly enjoyed working for Bank of Ireland. i enjoyed dealing with the customers and assisting there daily needs. I worked along side management when new staff members where employed to train them in on the systems and help them along the way of there yearly probation. There was many changes in the banking system in which computers and machines replaced staff. Alot of elderly customers found it hard with the change and there was a limit of how much we could assist them.
Pros
different challenges everyday
Cons
changes to customer service set up
Excellent
