I did not enjoy working for BOI
Bank Assistant (Former Employee) - Various - 12 April 2020
I worked with bank of Ireland for 10 years. I found this company to lack organisational ability and offered little or no opportunities to employees who wished to better themselves or seek promotion.

Productive workplace
Credit controller (Current Employee) - Dublin - 16 February 2020
Bank of Ireland is very good place to start your career in finance. In the bank there is a lot of space to grow and in one year that i am in the Bank i can tell i learned a lot about finance, and that will definitely help me in the future career.

No work life balance.
Deputy Team Lead Mortgage Maker (Former Employee) - IFSC, County Dublin - 24 January 2020
Management style & overall management team need to enter the 21st century. No work life balance, little understanding of life outside of the bank. No opportunities for working from home, part time work or job sharing. A lot of very highly skilled mothers have left their employment because of these issues. It needs to be addressed if women are ever expected to stay in the workplace. Although it is not just a problem in bank of Ireland, it is particularly prevalent from 20 years experience working there

Boi risk
Predictive Modelling Analyst (Current Employee) - Dublin - 7 December 2019
Good hours, amazing management, great co-workers. Perfect place if you have a family or want an amazing work-life balance. Cons to that is you aren't improving, and the skills you learn here are not sufficient enough to keep you as a competitive candidate in the future. You will never be outside your comfort zone

Good place of work
Digital Customer Advisor (Former Employee) - County Meath - 10 October 2019
I really liked working in the branch, as one day is never the same. Things are different in every branch. The staff where friendly in general. Company' employment benefits are very good, but if you are on temporary contract, it is harder to avail of all of them.

Over qualified for the role
PMO SENIOR BUSINESS ANALYST (Former Employee) - IFSC - 10 September 2019
This was a contract role - Over qualified for the role - Job was not what I was expecting however I needed the job at the time. The programme going on was huge and would have been interesting if you were involved in the meat of the work.

Terrible - avoid at all costs
Business Advisor (Current Employee) - Ireland - 3 March 2019
Worst place I have ever worked. No respect for staff and zero emphasis on promotion based on merit. No formalized training on entry to role, expected to learn on the job.Bullying environment where management use policy to create a toxic environment for staff members. Performance assessment metrics are subjective (not formalized) and open to manipulation by team leaders. A number of staff are on long term stress leave and management make no efforts to resolve causes of work related stress.Promotions are not based on merit. Easily influenced people who will not challenge status quo ineffective processes or unfair treatment of staff members. Zero staff morale/protections in place and no desire to make the environment a efficient, effective, and motivated workplace.
Pros
Salary is comparative with market rates
Cons
IT in dark ages, management uneducated and uninformed, no respect for staff.

flexible working in multiple roles
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.

Can be stressful due to staff shortage .
Bank Official (Current Employee) - Kildare - 3 December 2018
The banking sector is changing with the times. There is however a shortage of front line staff to assist with customer expectations. Customers expectations are changing as is the way that banking is progressing. It is becoming more automated and less paper transactions.
Pros
Job security
Cons
Lack of staff.

Good Company, Opportunities Have Become Limited
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.
Pros
Comfortable Working Environment. Job Security
Cons
No Free Lunches. No Colleage Rewards. No incentives i.e. bonus, gifts, promotions etc. Very low focus on employee moral, which I feel is vital.

Hard working fast pace
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.
