thinking about applying for a customer service job there but dont know much about it as the recruitment agency isnt giving much away.

whats the salry like? holidays etc

whats the office/working conditions like

i have plenty of customer service experience but i live in malahide so its a long way to go if i hate the job

so if you do work there or know someone who does let me know what you hear about the place

Ebay and PayPal are in different buildings now, depends which one you are going for. I'm with paypal myself since December and I enjoy it. Theres a good few weeks training involved depending on the department you are placed in but its not that bad at all.

Salary is quite good with 5 weeks holiday as standard. The office itself is great, restaurant starbucks both subsidised and a 24 hour gym. Very friendly place to work as well.

If you want any more info just give me a shout.

I haven't worked in either, but I thought you should know something...

By Train: Malahide to Dublin Connolly to Castleknock = about 1 hour

Malahide to Dublin Connolly = about 20 minutes

Dublin Connolly to Castleknock = about 15 minutes

All rough times, the trains being as they are. How does 20 + 15 = 60? There's a gap of 20 minutes in between the two trains.

From Castleknock, you walk 5 minutes to Blachardstown village, and get a bus up the road (or walk 20 - 30 minutes) to Ballycoolin Business Park.

And if you get a weekly bus&rail ticket, it costs €30 a week.

I think thats where it is, anyhoo's.

So, all together, leave @ 7am and get there with time to spare. May even be able to leave later.

Ah they're grand, theres quite a system in place there and since i've started I had to take some time off and that was accomodated easily so theyre grand in that respect.

If you can manage to get to town then you will have no problem getting to the building, theres a bus stop inside the corporate park and then there is the specific buses hired for shuttling paypal employees to town and back in the mornings and evenings, certainly not that hard to get to.
