Pros
Some good team members who will look out for you and support you
Cons
Where do I start? If you value your mental health and you are considering applying for a job here do not do it to yourself! By far the worst decision I have made. At interview you will be promised the world but nothing ever follows through. It goes downhill from the get go. This place has a huge bullying problem and nothing is being done to prevent or put an end to this. Management are rude, obnoxious, difficult to speak to and uncomfortable to be around.You will struggle to find someone to speak to as nothing is ever confidential as most of the team leaders/supervisors are friends of senior leadership. Staff turnover is huge and it is always ignored and brushed under the carpet. You are simply a number to them and you will be replaced very quickly. They would rather get rid of you asap than have you there. If they don't like you, your face doesn't fit, or you happen to speak up because you're not happy or don't agree with something, then god help you. Your life will be made difficult.You will find that the majority of people employed in admin areas are all friends of management. There is absolutely no encouragement or team work. You will not be praised, even if you do your job well. Morale is a strong 0. I have never worked in a more negative atmosphere, quite frankly it is depressing and an awful place to be. Workloads are not distributed evenly and certain staff members are working significantly harder than orders. Your job is more like the role of a typist, but you aren't able to type your own consultants letters as your work load is dictated to you every morning by the team leader. Salaries are varied. You have staff members that have been in the same role for 15+ years being paid less than new starters with no experience. Certain staff members are totally unappreciated and undervalued. Yet they still stay in their roles as they feel like their lives will be made even harder if they were to hand their notice in. Communication is minimal. You usually find out whats going on or any important information around one to two weeks after the date, if at all. You will look as if you have no idea what's actually going on. Management speak to their staff awfully and have no respect for you and always made to feel at fault. If you speak out about something you don't like, stick up for yourself, you will be called for a 'catch up' or a 'one to one' almost immediately, without any prior notice, just to add an element of surprise. Management have a terrible way of getting their point across to staff, some examples of this include: shouting ''oi'' when asking to speak to you, clicking fingers at you when you leave the room in order to make you turn around and go back in, continuous and unprofessional swearing and bad language, telling staff members they smell (like a wet dog) and even telling a staff member that they will ensure that they do not have the opportunity to get a new job within the hospital. Do yourself a favor, save yourself the stress and anxiety and don’t bother applying role.
