Pathology, Interesting place to work. As hardly anyone gets fired is not uncommon to find lazy carelees staff who have been working for ages and are very good at the "leave it to someone else" game. Challenging and busy place to work (not as much as private pathology) with no career progression unless some politics are in your favour.

Pros

Salary packaging, job security.

Cons

No career progression, slow management.

factory type mentality

Registered Nurse Division 1 (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 30 October 2022

there is zero satisfaction. it is an indoctrination factory.just ticking boxes. it isnt about healthcare.it isnt about preventive health care. it is all about managers making themselves look good flogging the underlings to get the workload done and they claim the success. there is no reward for effort.

Poor leadership and little organisation if any.

Clerk (Current Employee) - Broken Hill NSW - 19 January 2022

Very little regard given to well-being of employees. Management unwilling to hear about problems. Little support given by management and hardly any leadership. Too much rigmarole and procedure instead of sensibility.

Pros

Good pay. Salary packaging.

Bad job

Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - Sydney NSW - 3 October 2016

The facility I am working in is very bad with staffing management, often short of staff. The facility has been cutting down on staffs to minimise its expenses to survive because of the low health sector funding from government, while the workload is physically heavy and damaging the health and well being of their staffs. The frontline staffs work like slaves everyday.
