Pros

1. Opportunities to work at different organisations; 2. Funded MSc degree(s); 3. Organised personal development plan; 4. Training includes business coaching -- very useful.

Cons

1. If you are not on general management stream, you are required to attend two MSc level courses in your first year -- healthcare leadership and your specialism education. Both of them take a lot of spare time, but this is what graduate scheme supposed to be like. 2. You might end up at a very good organisation or one that couldn't care less.

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.
