19、ts, two points for each question.Passage OneWhat a lovely place Xerox is to work Kim Moloney, a client services executive, cant say enough nice things about her employer. Its a very special environment, she says. People describe Xerox as a family and I was amazed at the number of people who have wor

20、ked here for so long. Its tempting to take Moloneys comments with a pinch of salt, especially considering that when youve been working somewhere for only two years, as she has at Xerox, everyone seems old and established. But theres truth behind her enthusiasm.Take Carole Palmer, the group resources

21、 director. She joined Xerox in 1978 as a temp and has been in her present role for seven years. Xerox has been good to me over the years, she says.

The company takes on only fifteen to twenty graduates each year and Moloney was part of an intake who joined having already acquired a couple of years work expe

23、rience. She started as a project manager for Xerox Global Services before moving into sales. Now her responsibility is to grow and maintain customer relationships.Moloney is based at the head office in Uxbridge. Its great in terms of working environment, she says.

The nature of the organization, which encompasses sales and marketing, global services (the biggest division), developing markets, research and development and manufacturing, me

26、ans that the opportunities at the company vary from service engineers to sales roles and consultants.Perks include a final-salary pension scheme and various discount schemes. The reward and recognition scheme is a little different, and rather nice: Each manager has a budget every year to recognize a

27、nd reward staff, Palmer says. It can be in the form of a meal for two, or a bottle of wine. It can be up to 1,000. Theres the recognition, and then theres putting money behind it. Moloney, however, likes the non-cash rewards. Xerox takes care of all its staff but it also recognizes the people who pu

28、t in the added effort, she says. It offers once-in-a-lifetime incentive trips, and recently I organized a sailing trip for my team.The idea of working abroad with the company appeals to her, and she says that her career goal is to be part of the senior management team.
