      I have been working at NHS full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Senior doctors generally supportive. Pays the bills.

      Cons

      Not as rewarding as you would think - spend most of your time as a junior doctor being a glorified secretary, writing discharge letters, scribing for ward rounds. The rota coordinators will ensure your working rota is incompatible with having any kind of life - e.g. attending family weddings or holidays. You are obliged to take leave only when the hospital permits it (that is to say when you are not "on call"). Despite being employed in a "training role" (eg FY1, FY2) you will be very lucky if you actually get any training - you will be expected to "put up and shut up" and do service provision 99% of the time. The demands of patients and more specifically their families are such that you will be a sounding board for their frustrations with the NHS. No performance related bonus or benefits of any kind.
