Pros

Good pension at the moment, however this may change as it already has once. Childcare voucher scheme, good annual leave entitlement

Cons

Poor pay progression. No real pay rise for several years. Government need to recognise for many newly qualified staff they earn just about a living wage

Pros

The NHS was an amazing place to work, the coworkers are friendly , the patients are friendly and the managers are friendly.

Cons

The hours are quite difficult from time to time and like any other job involving health care. It leaves little time for a social life outside of work.

Pros

Your clinical skills will always be required everywhere in England so you'll never find it difficult to find a full time role which makes it easy to relocate in the future. So much opportunity to do overtime. Some degree of flexibility but only if you have a strong reasonable excuse.

Cons

Always short staffed and overworked. Pay freeze for 5 years, only now we will get a 1% increase, thanks! Too much bureaucracy and paperworks. Blame game with lack of support from upper management who lack insight and reality orientation. Public frustration vented towards staff.
