Pros

People are mostly great, despite being 'band/status/pay scale obsessed'. Great opportunities for those that work hard.

Cons

Endless 'mostly pointless meetings', managers & colleagues taking credit for your ideas. For HR experts - very much 'NOT PEOPLE - PEOPLE'. Lead by money! Cutting jobs, putting more pressure on those that remain. Not great example of Incentives,. Who then leave. Zero training.

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.
