Firstly, the job that you apply for is unlikely to be the actual job that is vacant. This is a standing joke within the company. an appraisal scheme was introduced which should have been called the bonus prevention scheme. The rules changed constantly and scores were reviewed by senior management who told you to change them if they didn't agree. Directors tell you to talk to them if you are unhappy or are thinking of leaving. This is true if you are a clinician, and believe me they will throw everything at you to get you to stay. Not the case for non clinical staff. Don't get me wrong, I would not have stayed if they'd offered me the world but non clinical staff are made to feel inferior.
I could dish a lot more dirt about this company but to be honest it's not worth it, nothing will ever change there. As I said the teams who keep the company going are on minimum wage with no sick pay, no bonuses and no thanks. If you are still working at PAM and you're reading this believe me there is a big wide world out here with lots of jobs where you will be valued , you won't be expected to work outside of your normal working hours and where you get treated equally no matter what your job is and even if you're not best friends with a director.
