Pros

Honestly can't think of anything.

Cons

Can't get role specific training as they won't pay for it. Behind the times for ICT beyond belief. Upper echelons don't understand the word 'cyberattack' let alone the implications of it for an NHS trust. They won't pay for ICT systems/updates/services and are then surpised when things go wrong. Self serving management who try to run the place like a business, get rid of staff with knowledge and replace them with new people who cost less or yes men or their mates. Will ignore things like Data Protection, Information Governance, Freedom of Information at will as it's not a money maker.

Pros

In the first three years of my employment, I enjoyed the friendly work environment, with a great team spirit. There were opportunities for a free upskilling training with a University.

Cons

Over time, the pressure from the management was unbearable - the targets were set too high and the general stress levels went up for everybody. This had a massive impact on the staff morale and job satisfaction.
