The connections to the people in the community and the venue.
I have joint the NSW Health Services since March 2001, commenced with Western Sydney Area Health Service, now called Western Sydney Local Health District.
During the years of working, it gives me the valuable opportunities to learn and interacting with people for the common interest of the people in the community.
However, there is a pending serious matter which did not give me a fare chance to get a paid job.
Therefore I move on to the different organizations, and I am still technically working for WSLHD in terms of my aged care services for the senior citizens.

Cons
Bias perhaps
Stressful, Very Poor Management
Team was very unhappy & stressed - mainly because immediate manager was inconsiderate & did not know how to provide direction. She called an impromptu team meeting from 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm (after a full workday that started at 8:30 am), only to gripe about subordinates who left without saying goodbye to her. I & another colleague worked 50 hours/week for 2 consecutive weeks at no extra pay & was told no time in lieu as those extra hours are part of the package. A colleague was disallowed from taking leave to attend to sick child. Culture may have changed now under a different leadership.
Pros
Working inside a hospital is a different experience
Cons
inconsiderate & incompetent leadership
