I would be working there still but for a Government embargo preventing the HSE from hiring people and I embarked on another career.

HSE HGV Driver (Former Employee) - Mullingar, County Westmeath - 31 August 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?I had two jobs part time as a relief driver delivering hospital beds , hoists , specialist mattresses and chairs to people in the community and nursing home settings. I also collected challenged adults in and out of rehabilitation services. Both jobs were very rewarding and I made friends with colleagues and clients for life. What is the most stressful part about working at the company?I didn’t really find any part of the job stressful probably because I liked what I was doing and if you really enjoy what you work at it’s a pleasure and it would be hard to get stressed. I sometimes saw clients I had delivered to passing away and it would make me sad. What is the work environment and culture like at the company?It was a nice place to work. Management were very nice and approachable and colleagues the best. I also had three different challenged adults helping me every week they were allowed to work so many hours each and split the week between them. This was very important to them and me. Wonderful people and a wonderful pioneering idea. What is a typical day like for you at the company?Collect clients from their homes and bring them to Rehab Centre. Load lorry as per inventory and set off for private houses and nursing homes in Longford and Westmeath to deliver and collect hospital equipment back to base and change to minibus to leave clients home.

v good

Data Analyst (Current Employee) - Carrigaline, County Cork - 2 June 2023

Management at caffè nero is known to be putting a lot of pressure on its workers. They work you to the bone for a wage that isn’t fair at all. There is a reason why they’re constantly hiring with such a high staff turnover.

Horrific experience

Nurse Intern (Former Employee) - Galway, County Galway - 28 April 2023

As a former employee of the Adult Acute Mental Health Unit and General side, I regrettably experienced a highly unfavorable work environment. The management culture was severely problematic, resulting in a toxic atmosphere, and compounded by gossipy staff and rampant bullying. The workplace environment had such a profound effect on the employees that some individuals needed to take time off due to their deteriorating mental health. While I am passionate about my job, the unprofessional and toxic behavior of the staff hindered my ability to perform effectively. The incessant talk of the unapproachable management and the critical opinions of the Charge Nurse Manager's performance conveyed a lack of professionalism. There was no attention given to personal development, and the treatment of students was also suboptimal.

Pros

Bank holiday and Sunday bonus

Cons

Everything else

There because it's mandatory

Doctor (Current Employee) - Dublin, County Dublin - 11 April 2023

Could be great. So many wonderful people who want to work hard and help patients. So much potential lost due to burnt out staff, paperwork and terrible IT support. Nil psychological supports either for staff.

Pros

Regular wage

Cons

Terrible staffing shortages

Too stressful

Hygiene Attendant (Former Employee) - Limerick, County Limerick - 5 April 2023

Not recommended for anyone looking to have a good back. Supervisors are always on your face trying to rattle you. Slow career progression from this role.

healthcare in community

Assistant Staff Officer (Current Employee) - Louth, County Louth - 8 June 2022

Friendly, secure, but no dues given to hard workers, slackers get just as much . Promoting on merit should be done rather than hiring from outside people who just good at interviews and dont know the job, creates tension and feeling of dispare to longterm hard workers.

Overworked, underpaid.

Staff Midwife (Former Employee) - Dublin - 18 March 2022

Just don't get into nursing. There are better paid jobs out there with far greater work culture. It's very stressful to be a midwife in Irish maternity hospitals.
