Pros

Good pay (when I joined) for a graduate A lot of lovely, knowledgeable people You're always guaranteed to find at least one person who fancies a drink on a Friday Interesting work with some opportunities for cross team and civil service experience Work/life balance can be great depending on who you work for

Cons

Few promotion opportunities The money isn't amazing long term You're often feeling like a middle man with very little genuine power/responsibility as ultimately the Department of Health have the final say on most matters Some teams have better working conditions than others

Pros

Average pay for the area. Very good health benefits (low premium) and okay work life balance. Coworkers fairly chill with the one or two toxic person. Opportunities to cross train and learn new skills if that is your desire.

Cons

Workload uneven between shifts depending on shifting prioritizations on batches. Dead end, no route for career advancement. Cross training is a stopgap measure to cover for department personnel shortages.
