    Has any one applied to Permanent Tsb for the 11 month fixed term branch Customer Service Advisor posts advertised at the moment?
    Is anyone working in this position at the moment? What is the job like?
    What are you dealing with at the moment in the branch?
    What are Permanent Tsb like to work for?
    Can you give any feed back re the interview and job ect?
    Also has anyone got another contract after the 11 months is finished?

    One of my friends is out of work at the moment and wants to get feedback on the above.
    Thanks for your help.

    I worked there perhaps 10 years ago. I was out of work so took a job there...

    Really depressing work environment, with rules for everything (e.g. you have to ask permission to go to the toilet), and a bizarre sense of over-importance. Some of the people who worked there (including a couple of supervisors) thought they were "bankers".

    Obviously if you are stuck it'll pay the bills, but it's grim.

    That was 10 years ago so it may be much better now.

    +1 to everything Mr.Loverman said, though it's about 7 years ago for me. To be fair the permanent staff had been there forever so maybe it's a place you either love or hate...

    A friend of mine works there and loves it. Has a great social life with the other staff members (nights out etc,).

    They are putting him through some exams and has been promoted twice with them within approx 4 years...

    Sounds good to me!

    When I worked there, there was a smallish group of people who loved working there. They had a very different personality type to me, which would probably explain why they loved it and I hated it.

    So I guess it depends on the person! The OP's friend may love it there too.

    That's odd - I thought the TSB were making many staff redundant recently?

    I know they are letting staff go as another friend of mine told me this.
    I think what the banks are doing is getting rid of people from certain areas who have been there for a long time. Give them redundancy and they are not paying the high wages after this.
    Meanwhile they need staff in certain areas for x period of time but they don't want to take on permanent staff.
