Lots of opportunity for locum work, job security, routine lifestyle and decent compensation. Well respected work outside of the hospital, and opportunity to meet some inspirational people

Cons

Unmotivated staff, lots of locum staff who don't know what they are doing, lots of people taking sick days or taking advantage of the system. Very PC environment but most staff with low morale

Pros

Great sense of purpose and meaning in the work. Colleagues are genuinely dedicated and supportive. Good variety of tasks day to day, and you gain a wide range of clinical and interpersonal skills quickly. Job security is a major plus.

Cons

Staffing levels are often stretched thin, which puts pressure on everyone. Pay hasn't kept pace with the demands of the role. Management can feel disconnected from frontline realities, and communication from the top down is inconsistent.
