Pros
The money, the work matters, and the colleagues at lower levels are brilliant. Lower level staff are committed to the purpose and there is a 'we are in the trenches together' mentality that bonds junior and mid level staff
Cons
Management are abhorrent. They use your personal circumstances against you to suggest you cant do your job ( things that should command compassion like the death of immediate family and ongoing health conditions). There is no sensitivity and a toxic culture of bullying. The staff that stay are there because a) the pay is good b) they've been bullied so long they dont realise how bad it is compared with other workplaces and they lack confidence to leave and c) they actually care about the reason for ahpras existence and the work that is done.
