Pros
The environment and the network of people are inherently decent working in the HR department. A good varied workforce with talented people. I enjoyed forming relationships with the working Nursing staff who make great efforts to perform their duties under difficult restraints. Whilst the workload is demanding, the atmosphere is fairly relaxed and jovial.
Cons
While there are decent people, the nature of the department is incredibly cliquey and it seems to be a bit of a "boys' club" in who advances. Decent people who are skilled have left or have been pushed to the side because their face did not fit, certainly not a very welcoming feel. Cuts make this department a very depressing environment and the workload for what we deal with is staggering, an extra body would make this much more relieved.
