Allied Irish Banks Reviews

Pros

Great work life balance in the bank

Cons

Lack of possible progression at work

Pros

Weekends off, ok work/ life balance when out on time, sick pay, great people to work with on ground level.pay for you to sit QFA exams.

Cons

Over 5 years employed by AIB and wages are nowhere near what they should be after that time, most other employer gives real increases every year. Every time I ask a question about pay - the goalposts get moved and they try pawn off the question saying it’s not us who decides that it is above us. Nobody seems to care about staff working for an institution that will never be able to get a mortgage that we have to try and sell to our customers coming in and are constantly pushed to sell to them, something there is fundamentally wrong. Difficult to get holidays at times with a ‘two off’ policy that doesn’t seem to apply to managers

Pros

Work life balance, weekends off, no contact when off. Nice people , management very helpful.

Cons

Terrible pay for the responsibility you hold and the work you do. No benefits, no commission, no extra bonus etc for leads or sales....Constant excuses surrounding pay increases. Management helpful but new entrants are often left to their own devices which adds strain to staff when not trained or if experienced staff are sick. . Like most companies it is rotting from the top down.
