Pros

Really busy brokers. I'd recommend working here if you have some insurance knowledge and would like to develop further both in terms of your skills and in your career. Management are on the whole very approachable and friendly and it's a pretty inclusive place to work. For the main part First Ireland will promote from within the company which is encouraging for staff.

Cons

Due to the growth they've experienced there will always be some teething problems in terms of systems etc but nothing major comes to mind.

Pros

Good location - 20 minute walk to City Centre and on a lot of transport routes. Heuston Station and Luas right outside. Will hire without any work experience.

Cons

Very low pay Treated poorly by management, almost like toddlers. You need to ask to go to the bathroom, use your phone and if you come in to work 2 minutes late you must take 2 minutes off of your lunch break! Mandatory training takes place at lunchtimes - usually once a week or fortnight. No regard for employee safety or welfare - was told off like a child for not coming to work due to Storm Ophelia and Beast from the East (both red warnings from the government) When you are sick you must ring the director who will proceed to ask what is wrong with you and could you not come in and see how you go.
