Pros

No day is the same, lots of opportunity to learn, looks great on your CV as such a varied job role. The volunteers are lovely. Lots of opportunity for over time. The job will keep you fit (long hours on your feet - often for the whole shift which can vary from 7.5-15 hours).

Cons

It's very difficult to get a promotion, long hours - shifts can be 8+ days in a row and the night shifts are not optional.

Pros

time flexibility, good place for education in the particular field, broad areas of responsibilities

Cons

too overloaded with the operating procedures, a lot of unnecessary, obsolete or useless trainings. Conservative rather than dynamically developing. a lot of different positions on different levels in the particular field but with the same responsibility
