I work there - but not for UB. You wouldn't happen to be starting a student summer job on Monday not for UB by any chance ?

But seriously, its a nice building, its got an ok cheap restaurant, and its a bank (or a couple of...). Hours are normally 9 to 5 (nice) with an hour for lunch. You may have free coffee/tea/hot chocolate (all crap - I'm told) and drinking water (fine). The air conditioning is a bit dicky sometimes, so you might find it a bit warm or cold - unless you work w/ends when its off and stuffy. For me its a suit Monday to Thursday (this hippy hates that) and casual of a Friday.

Good luck krattapopov. I'm not a banking sorta guy, this is the second bank I've every worked in (in 10 years), but you either like it, learn to like it, or will always hate it. Hope you're not the latter, but its a job, and a job with a bit of security - unlike for example the IT industry - grr.

Forgot to mention you'll get free banking but most likely won't have internet access. Even if you do (I do 'cos I work in IT) boards is filtered out (not specifically - but it is), and email is also filtered.

/edit: actually if you see a hippy guy in a shirt and slacks come over and say hello - its most likely me!

krattapopov

expected as much, you guys block the muppet.boards.ie too?

Well we hub off the UB network, its their filters I have to suffer . AFAIK its not boards specifically, but perhaps a change in the title and/or meta information might help - cough.
