Best thing
The team and the sense that you are doing something for the good of the population and helping people with medical requirements
Worst thing
The low pay, long hours, lack of extra overtime available because management want to keep admin hours low so they don’t have to pay out any extra even though there’s the possibility that things would be missed or things delayed. The lack of thanks that we get on a regular basis too, even just a thank you from the managers and doctors would be nice

Best thing
Very satisfying work. Good job if you like people. Well resourced. Good company ethos. Enormous camaraderie...even internationally!
Worst thing
Exorbitant paperwork. Low staff numbers that are deemed safe. Learning highly skilled jobs but not being financially rewarded for taking on extended role. Stress. Physically very demanding. Diminishes own health (working nights, going without meals, drinking too little). Genuine risk to your own health...e.g. TB, COVID etc

Best thing
I enjoy helping and caring for most people that are in my care, my colleagues are a great inspiration to me on stressful shifts
Worst thing
Having rude, demanding patients with no right to reply, having far to heavy workload for the staffing levels at times with higher management, in my opinion, having little understanding of what really happens on the Shop floor, and no hope of a pay rise for such a stressful job especially in these unprecedented times!
