Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Abtran full-time for more than a year
Pros
Some flexibility with work hours depending on what account you are on
Cons
Terrible management, expect staff to exceed targets consistently with no appreciation, no bonuses. Every couple of months they provide cupcakes as a "thanks " as if we are children. No sick pay. Absolutely NO career progression despite what they said at the initial interview. They assured me there would be time allocated for staff to shadow other teams to learn new skills. Nobody was ever allowed avail of this.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Abtran full-time for less than a year
Pros
Management and team leaders are idiots so you can get a good laugh at their expense.
Cons
Low wages, typical empty suit management, no progression, damaging to your mental health, work is simple and workers are treated like infants, non stop drama, busy body team leaders and colleagues, no union representation. The Sligo office had a confirmed case of Covid-19 and didn't inform the staff until weeks afterwards, then tried to cover it up putting the health and well being of staff in danger. If you have no career ambition and simply want an easy cheque at the end of the week this job might suit you. But it is easily the worst place I have ever been employed, a complete dead end which you'd be better off leaving off your CV if you ever wanted to apply for another position elsewhere.
