Pros

In some cases a feeling of satisfaction when doing the job well. variety of work if in a large pathology epartment.

Cons

The hours, Pay structure for out of core hour work is not good compared to private sector. Being taken for granted by senior management. Decisions made at higher levels by management who have no real idea of what goes on at lower levels. Despite what anybody says, the service is driven by budget not patient needs.

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.
