    I worked there last years for a few months. Personally I hated the job itself, I felt sick every morning at the thoughts of taking 50 odd calls.... And get abuse on 90% of the calls

    The people on the other hand were great. The managers(most of them) were grand and very helpful. Everyone on the floor was great and helped each other to survive each shift.....

    If you don't give a crap and don't take **** from people.... Go for it....

    Similar story/opinion to that of the people I know who worked and are working their right now.

    Iv been just told really without bashing them too much that their way to strict for the money there actually giving their employees and to avoid the place at all costs.

    Your experience in eishtec hasn't filled me with any hope but luckily Im employed , i was just thinking of applying a while back. Iv heard one too many bad things and I don't think my job is as bad as eishtec so I should count myself lucky.

    Cheers :)

    I wouldn't consider these as jobs to be honest. The likes of XR Marketing and Smart Advantages in Johnstown prey on vulnerable, desperate people to try and brainwash them into thinking they can make x amount after a certain period of time working for nothing. My mate did it for a week and it ended up costing him about €60 travelling up and down to Dungarvan to try and sell portable heaters door-to-door. He never got reimbursed for travel expenses or paid for the one heater he sold.

    I saw this too! The thing is they are only advertising an opportunity to develop, so they were like notifying people or prospective buyers builders developers!

    There was planning permission on the fence down where the other roundabout is just near the goods in entrance, theres a wooden fence then and it was on there for permission to add the above IN SHOP however that hasnt materialised yet, still could be just part of the planning delays! but those notices have now been removed from the fence, think there maybe one left on there,
