nefertitiram: My fellow warrior that year, no make me remember weytin i don forget. Do you know that Sanusi was just after people he had beef with while working in commercial bank? (Jim Ovia-Zenith, Tony Elumelu-UBA, Cecilia Ibru-Oceanic, and our very own Erastus Akingbola-Intercontinental). Where have you heard that a debtor bought over the person he is owing? Imagine Sanusi selling Intercontinental for 50b with all its assets, whereas Access were owing international about 17b. 2 Likes 1 Share |

richyblink1: It's even paining me to remember it. What was his beef with Akingbola? Because Inter staff wore No 1 Tshirt, and claimed No 1 position that 1st bank desired so much? Next thing was to start Demarketing, so Tey Soludo asked Sanusi to apologise to Erastus for Demarketing. Immediately Sanusi took over frm Soludo, arresting Erastus was his first assignment just to humiliate him. August 17, 2009. I can never forget how Danmole shook. Who gave Aig d 50bn to pay for Inter? His mother in law at BOI! Imagine!!! Let's just move on! I know we serve a God of Justice. One day, the truth will come out. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

odihack: Accessbank is one of the best places and brands you can work for in Nigeria. Access bank is not bad...forget about the rubbish jobless people say online. They will invest so much into you, do you expect them to expect nothing in return? They ain't asking for much... Just excellent service delivery and you achieving your goals. So simple. 5 Likes |

It saddens me to hear youths complain about stress.. Some it's pure laziness but they want to earn big.... Others do not need a career but a job, their reason for accepting the job offer is not passion, opportunity for professional development or cos they really want to add value to the organization.. Its just about the salary.... Although Access Bank do me strong thing, I failed a test, passed another with them, even got to final interview before madam bolaji ended/suspended my Access Bank dream... Hearing people complain about Access Bank stress was a motivation for me, I saw it as a challenge, I know I strive well under pressure, I wanted to try Access Bank and the "Unrealistic target" quoting my frnd that works there... ... Thats gone for now.,, will be 25 by month end n thus can't apply for entry level again .. I know people that leaves access for other Banks find life easier, get higher position sef bt na access drill them. WARRIORS sukanmi once asked me to get to VI by 7 am for my panel interview, I got there 5.30 AM, interview no start till around 10 am. Anyway, I wanted to build a career with Access Bank, but the disappointment made me stronger with my job hunting,.. In just 2 months, I v written test with 3 other Banks, awaiting their interview and still have test with another nxt wk, 2 others promised me a test invite soonest, ... While I do not love the other organizations like Access Bank, i know I need to find what will make me love working with any of them... In my opinion that's the best way to beat stress... Have a passion for what you do n love whom you work for /with... I derive joy from doing financial analysis, and also I want to develop n be involved in successful financial planning and projects. Thats my major motivation... Finally it's actually intercontinental Bank I really liked xo I kinda transferred it to Access. I believe now that we are youths is the best time to stress ourselves and I blame all these yahoo plus boys for the laziness in Nigerian youths. 8 Likes 1 Share |

nefertitiram: Standard Chartered Personality Assessment hammered me jxt like Diageo..

chccho: Sorry but some people I know & have known earn triple that amount and don't have to pay such flimsy price as demanded by Access bank. I have worked in real estate companies where staff are paid btw N100,000 & N600,000 per month & they close by 5pm or a bit later if they need to tidy up some outstanding work or just buying time to avoid rush hour traffic, no work on weekends except in some rare cases maybe for MPR, at least 3 weeks end of year holiday, study leave, etc. Why would I in my right senses leave such jobs for ANY bank job? Someone I know aged 29 who studied French in a Nigerian university works at the research library of German embassy in Lagos. The job is 6am-2pm, picked up every morning by bus & closes by 2pm, paid a good salary with all the additional perks of working with an embassy. Isn't that far better than working with any bank? I'll advise job seekers to just pray for God's favor to bring you the best jobs & trust Him to do it. Someone told me almost 15 yrs ago that the best jobs are never advertised & I've come to realize that after working for over 10 yrs now. Seek for God's favor! I rest my case! 10 Likes |

Access Bank is ok. if you work in marketing u get target which fair among other banks. the truth is u r stretched in access which makes it easier to work in any other bank in Nigeria. if u r not in marketing u may get targets but not compared to marketers. if you also build ur network of friends within the bank (marketers) u can meet those targets. if u ask me if u r strong, ready to work and male a difference for ur self and get to the peak of ur career within the number of years u choose for ur self. ...choose Access Bank 1 Like |

nefertitiram: There are other banks with the same training bond conditions/requirement, even those that aren't as big as commercial banks. Some of those banks pay a hundred thousand less than Access Bank, and they require graduate trainees to remain with them for two years or pay an amount of N2 million if they wish to leave before that period. And the funny thing is they don't invest as much in your training as Access Bank does. So the training bond is not slavery. It's just a measure of keeping you with them so they can reap the benefits of the time, money, and energy invested in you during your training. Training doesn't even end in the school. You are subjected to training on the job too. So I don't see a problem with the bond. There is nothing wrong in a bank trying to protect its interest. Just look at the N2 million 'training bond' as the cost of the time, energy, and money invested in training you, both before the job and during the job, and the cost of training someone else to take your place if you choose to leave, not the cost of releasing you from prison. Although I think Access Bank compensates well for the stress compared to other financial services companies, I still feel something should definitely be done to address the issue of work-life balance in all corporate outfits (not just banks alone, because this is everywhere). 5 Likes 1 Share |

Craven: While your point is noted and that it is not everybody that can be an entrepreneur, the end of your epistle is very wrong when you said one is not better than the other. Being an entrepreneur is miles better than working for some dumb organisation or whatever you call it and this can never be overemphasized . In fact i am appalled by the level of your reasoning because entrepreneurship is beneficial to both the individual and the society at large. 1.An entrepreneur generates wealth and create employment to the larger society while people that sit down in offices like you drains the wealth in the society. 2. Entrepreneurship does not give you boundary cos you can grow as high as you want while your life is structured as a worker somewhere. 3.You can never be rich working for an organisation and that is the fact and reality of life because nobody will pay you to be rich,all you can earn is a living wage to get by in life but in entrepreneurship you can ask the adenuga's ,dangote,otedola e.t.c. 4.Job security is guaranteed as an entrepreneur in as much as you know your business but in a bank or elsewhere you can be fired at anytime through restructuring ,rightsizing and e.t.c. 5.You can't be bossed around as an enterprenuer unlike in your workplace where you wake up saying yes sir every morning and you even carry your madam's bag in the evening. 6.Being an enterpreneur does not make you lazy and you challenge your brain all the time for ideas and you take calculated risks unlike what you have in your corporate work place (particularly in banks) where your life is structured and scheduled and there is a limit to what ideas and innovations you can bring on board thereby making your brains redundant. Kindly note that i presently work in a bank and i see these things happening everyday and trust me i feel like i am being caged and i can't wait to unleash myself so i can leave it for people like you. Trust me being an entrepreneur is miles better but the sad reality is not everyone can be an entrepreneur so you can keep your job till the day you will be fired which will surely happen one day whether you like it or not cos you don't own where you work. Please don't mislead would be entrepreneurs with quotes like this. |
