Pros

Hard-working colleagues, good team spirit, knowing that you're doing a job that makes a difference to peoples lives.

Cons

Poor administration and management leading to understaffing, rota mistakes, and being made to cover different departments without any notice until the day of the shift. Generally undervalued by our management and the public. Limited break times. Having to pay for parking and cover our own travel expenses when working out of hours. Classifying 1800-0400 shifts as "twilight shifts" so we don't get the pay banding for nights. And tons more...

Pros

The career prospects and job opportunities are quite good

Cons

The way you are treated, handled and spoken to too by senior members of the medical team and by HR is shocking. If this was a private / corporate company the staff would all have left a long time ago. Same if there were any viable public sector alternatives within the country.
