      Can be a worthwhile job, but you'll learn to hate your evil overlord masters at the Department of Health.

      Pros

      The final year pension scheme, which, I think, no longer exists for new employees. And there probably won't be anything left in the pot by the time you retire anyway after Labor's finished raiding it.

      Cons

      Everything you do is geared towards chasing paper targets and nonsensical initiatives drafted by some monkey at the Department of Health, what we want to do is help people.

      If monthly pay isn't everything the NHS is worth a look.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are a hugh variaty of jobs in the NHS and it is possible to move location and role quite easily. There is a big emphasis on work-life balance so below managment level you can forget about work outside your 37.5 hours a week. Although the pay is lower than simular jobs in the private sector, the pension is good, as is the holiday allowance.

      Cons

      The pay structure is very rigid - those who perform their job well find their pay raises at the same rate as those who are incompitant.

      The death of ambition

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you are satisfied to do a poor job and have absolutely no ambition, then the total absence of any feedback or link between performance and pay means that your pay and carrer will progress at exactly the same rate as the most commitited and exceptional performer. Also, if you like to have a considerable time "off-sick" then you can without fear of reprisal.

      Cons

      If you are results focused and expect recognition and reward for your commitment then you will be bitterly disappointed. Salaries in non clinical positions are about 40% below the market rate.
